Kıbrıs Statistics 1: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression Eğitimi

Before attending this course, you should

• have completed the equivalent of an undergraduate course in statistics covering p-values, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression
• be able to execute SAS programs and create SAS data sets. You can gain this experience by completing the SAS Programming 1: Essentials course.

This course addresses SAS/STAT software.

This course also addresses Base SAS software and touches on SAS/GRAPH software. You can benefit from this course even if SAS/GRAPH software is not installed at your location

• generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs
• perform analysis of variance and apply multiple comparison techniques
• perform linear regression and assess the assumptions
• use regression model selection techniques to aid in the choice of predictor variables in multiple regression
• use diagnostic statistics to assess statistical assumptions and identify potential outliers in multiple regression
• use chi-square statistics to detect associations among categorical variables
• fit a multiple logistic regression model
• score new data using developed models.

Who should attend
Statisticians, researchers, and business analysts who use SAS programming to generate analyses using either continuous or categorical response (dependent) variables

Course Overview and Review of Concepts

• descriptive statistics
• inferential statistics
• examining data distributions
• obtaining and interpreting sample statistics using the UNIVARIATE procedure
• examining data distributions graphically in the UNIVARIATE and FREQ procedures
• constructing confidence intervals

ANOVA and Regression

• performing one-way ANOVA with the GLM procedure
• performing post-hoc multiple comparisons tests in PROC GLM

Categorical Data Analysis

• producing frequency tables with the FREQ procedure
• examining tests for general and linear association using the FREQ procedure
• understanding exact tests
• understanding the concepts of logistic regression
• fitting univariate and multivariate logistic regression models using the LOGISTIC procedure
• using automated model selection techniques in PROC LOGISTIC including interaction terms
• obtaining predictions (scoring) for new data using PROC PLM
