This seminar covers Introduction to SAS
SAS is available in
– Weir Student Lab (4 PCs)
– Weir 107
– Several other labs around campus
SAS is also installed on willow (Unix server)
SAS performs statistical analysis
Statistical Package:
SAS/PC (cont.)

•
50 copies are available for faculty use
For each copy purchased, a faculty
member can get a free copy (to be
installed on a student PC)
The cost is $100 per copy per year

SAS’ three main files
– *.sas (a file created by the user, an input file)
– *.log (a file created by SAS containing the “log”
when the user’s program is finished running)
– *.lst (listing file containing the output)
•
Examples of the three SAS files
– my.sas
– My.log
– My.lst
Activating and Running SAS on
Windows
Click on the “SAS” icon to activate SAS
Create your program (below) in a window named “EditorUntiled1”
Blue Text is your program
data test;
/* The name of the program */
input a b c; /* Variables are a, b, and c */
cards;
/* Input will follow “card” */
123
2 3 -1
;
/* end of data */
proc print; proc means;
run;
/* run procedures print & means */
Running SAS on Windows
Click “run” and then “submit” the above example
Running SAS on Windows (Cont.)
Results will appear in the “output” window
Running SAS on Windows (Cont.)
Above shows the log file
An Example of Linear Regression
reg748re.sas
• Below is an example of regression analysis
• Data is entered into “Editor”
The output from Linear Regression
Below shows the output of the Regression Analysis
Some SAS Proc
•
Proc (Procedure)
– proc means (obtains mean, standard
deviation)
– proc anova (performs simple AOV)
– proc plot (plots)
– proc lp (performs Linear Programming)
– proc reg ( performs regression)
– proc corr (performs correlation)
