SAS System for Elementary Statistical Analysis

I am in the second semester of a two semester design of experiments sequence and I have just started using this book. It's been very helpful. At the moment I am using chapter 9 to help me with the Multiple Regression homework. It helps out in two ways, it has nice, readable instructions on SAS, using relevent, but not overly complex examples, and the way it covers Statistics, using those examples, makes the concepts significantly easier for me to grasp than the Stats textbook we are using. Plus, unlike the textbook, it's short and it makes it easy to get the big ideas quickly. Not to mention the textbook doesn't help you with SAS at all (well, not practically). Very highly recommended for people interested in learning both SAS and Statistical Analysis.

Great conditions and I received it the date expected. I'm very satisfied with the product.

This book seems to be just what I need in an introductory SAS programming class. It is simple to read and helps me more than the teacher does!

For the ones who don't like Statistics it's a good book to start with something apparently confusing. Actually, Statistics is dismistified in this book. In the first part of the book it's given a introduction about the basic things that SAS can do as a statistical program. The second part of the book is dedicated to the Statistics accompanied with the SAS language, once given in the first part. Good real examples give exactly the notion what SAS can do about a Statistical Analysis. It's also a very good book for the ones who aren't good in English, as myself (i'm brazillian). If you are planning to study Statistics with some computational help try to start with this book.Gustavo Tavares If you want this review translated to Portuguese send me a request.
