SAS

Overview


CURRENT VERSION: 9.2

"The SAS System is an integrated system of software providing complete control over data access, management, analysis, and presentation." SAS/STAT provides extensive statistical capabilities with tools for both specialized and enterprise-wide analytical needs. Ready-to-use procedures handle a wide range of statistical analyses, including analysis of variance, regression, categorical data analysis, multivariate analysis, survival analysis, psychometric analysis, cluster analysis, and nonparametric analysis.

Enterprise Guide Software

Contained in this package is Release 3.0 of Enterprise Guide software, a thin client interface to the SAS System. Equipped with a Windows interface, EG software reduces traditionally complex operations to a few simple point-and-click and drag-and-drop action. The media contains the software, as well as detailed installation information an documentation.
