SAS Course Content

Overview :

SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is the statistical and information system that performs data management and statistical analysis. The system’s analysis tools range from simple descriptive statistics Level to advanced statistical design. It is made up of a number of modules with specialized procedures for analysis relating to various disciplines. The main functionalities of its components are intended to be accessed via application programming interfaces, in the form of statements and procedures.

Training Objectives of SAS :

SAS is one of the premier data analysis software in the market. It utilizes a specialized data set table proprietary to SAS, however it’s System has modules to be able to read and write to many other data base products like Oracle and ODBC compliant products like MS-SQL Server or PROGRESS. The data presentation capabilities range from simple lists and tables to multi dimensional plots and high-resolution graphics.
