Statistics 1: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression Course Details:

This course is for SAS software users who perform statistical analyses using SAS/STAT software. The focus is on t-tests, ANOVA, linear regression, and logistic regression. This course (or equivalent knowledge) is a prerequisite to many of the courses in the statistical analysis curriculum.

Certification:

  • SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer Using SAS 9
  • SAS Statistical Business Analysis Using SAS 9: Regression and Modeling
