SAS is a widely used and powerful tool for data analysis with
excellent data management capabilities. S-PLUS is a different
kind of package and has strengths which can effectively
complement it. These include facilities for data exploration,
interactive and presentation quality graphics, modern statistical
methods and a powerful object-oriented language for flexible
data analysis.
This three-day course is an introduction to S-PLUS aimed at
SAS Users. After getting familiar with the user interface, we
will compare the ways in which the two packages manage data.
We will review methods of statistical data analysis covered by
both packages and then explore some of the more novel features
available in S-PLUS; for example, non-parametric regression and
tree-based models. Two of the features of S-PLUS that
complement SAS nicely are interactive analysis and extensibility
of the system. Examples of these will be presented and explored.
Course Outline Comparisons with SAS are made throughout the
course.
Course Format:
This course will consist of a series of presentations in the
form of short lectures, together with simultaneous live
demonstrations. Each student will have access to a computer
and will have the opportunity to interact with the presenters
during these sessions. Training manuals will be provided and
will be yours to keep.
Prerequisites:This course is for people who use SAS for data
analysis. Familiarity with methods of statistical modeling, SAS
and the Windows operating system are assumed.
