Der (medical statistician, U. of Glasgow) and Everitt (psychiatry, U. of London) offer students and researchers a succinct description of the Statistical Analysis System software package for the manipulation and statistical analysis of data. Medical and sociological examples walk through SAS code for analysis of variance, multiple regression, longitudinal data, survival analysis, and cluster analysis. Updated to SAS 9.2, the third edition adds chapters on simple linear regression, tire wear, computerized delivery of cognitive behavioral therapy, and treating toenail infection.
