NOTES:

Welcome to the Statistics 101 web page. This page provides links to various files needed to complete the computing assignments. It will also display important announcements throughout the semester, whence you are urged to read it frequently.
 

COMMENTS:

1. User defined variable names in SAS should begin with a letter character not a number (e.g., use m100 not 100m).
2. An option available for the TYPE statement in PROC GPLOT is FREQ (not FREQUENCY).
3. COMPUTING ASSIGNMENT III: By request, I have authored another SAS tutorial (Part VI) to provide some hints on creating subsets of data sets. You may find it useful for completing the last question on this assignment.
4. COMPUTING ASSIGNMENT IV: By request, I wrote up a SAS code to exemplify the use of counters in SAS. You may find it useful in CA IV. (Download: counter.sas.)
5. (04/12/99) The sample SAS above (counter.sas) file has been updated.
6. (04/18/99) Computing Assignment 5 and Tutorial VIII have been updated. In the original versions I was using some features that are not available in version 6 (they are available in version 7). The only SAS procedure that you need to use for Computing Assignment 5, is PROC MEANS.
7. (04/27/99) PROC MEANS with the PRT option, gives the p-value for the test H0: mu = 0 versus H1: mu != 0. Make sure to center your data when testing H0: mu = c versus H1: mu != c. The tutorial provides some hints for this.

SAS Tutorials:

The following tutorials have been developed and produced by Kouros Owzar. Please send any comments and corrections to the author. A fabricated data set (Download: Data File) is used in these tutorials.
 

SAS/INSIGHT Primer:

This SAS/INSIGHT Primer (TS-500) was obtained from the SAS Institute web-site http://www.sas.com/.
 

Computing Assignments:

The data sets are described in the computing assignments.
