1. Categorical Data Analysis using SAS

2. 2 List the components of a SAS program. Open an existing SAS program and run it. Discuss the Chi Square Test of Independence Objectives

3. 3 DATA steps are typically used to create SAS data sets. PROC steps are typically used to process SAS data sets (that is, generate reports and graphs, edit data, and sort data). A SAS program is a sequence of steps that the user submits for execution. Raw Data DATA Step Report SAS Data Set PROC Step SAS Programs

13. Categorical Data Analysis ChiSQ Test of Independence

14. 14 The chisq.sas program contains several examples of using SAS to create and analyze contingency tables. During the remainder of this class, we will open that program discuss the function of each of the procedures and demo it in SAS. SAS Procedures
