An Introduction to Windows SAS Version 8.2 at WPI

About This Document

This document has several purposes:

If you have not already done so, please visit http://www.math.wpi.edu/Course_Materials/SAS/pcsas82_intro.html. This document will tell you the latest news on the transition to Windows and will point you to a set of SAS installation instructions. After completing the installation, new users should complete the tutorials An Introduction to SAS/EIS, found at http://www.math.wpi.edu/Course_Materials/SAS/sas02_eis.html, and An Introduction to SAS/INSIGHT I: Elementary Concepts, found at http://www.math.wpi.edu/Course_Materials/SAS/sas02_inI.html.

These tutorials are designed to introduce the novice SAS user to two components of SAS statistical software: SAS/INSIGHT, a graphical environment for interactive data analysis, and SAS/EIS, a component of SAS that is used as an interface between the user and a set of SAS programs, called macros. Both programs are heavily used in statistics courses at WPI.

Users who want to do more with SAS/INSIGHT are invited to the continuation of the tutorial, An Introduction to SAS/INSIGHT II: Advanced Concepts, found at http://www.math.wpi.edu/Course_Materials/SAS/sas02_inII.html.
