COURSE SECTIONS

1. DATA PREPARATION will teach you how to import data from multiple sources, create new variables, write SAS functions, and understand what goes on behind the scenes in SAS datasets
2. DATA STRUCTURING will make you leap into transforming data to a new level by merging and joining multiple datasets together, or turning them upside-down (sorting), and side-ways (transposing)
3. DATA VISUALIZATION will propel you further into the world of analytics and obtaining insightful inferences from what is inside your data
4. OPTIMIZING CODE will  take into the world of macro programming that teaches you how to write your code professionally and elegantly

At the end of each section, you will try out most concepts discussed in that section through coding exercises and guided assignments. Don’t worry if you make mistakes in the assignments, these are guided assignments where I hand-hold you showing all the steps to get them correctly done. At the end of the course, there are 3 practical projects that are based on concepts from all 4 sections of the course.

If you wish to further hone your SAS programming skills learnt in this course and apply it on a practical real-life example, I recommend you take my other course on Clinical SAS Programming. If the clinical portion doesn’t interest you, can you skip straight to the hands-on programming lectures (Section 3 onward) where you will begin working with a sample (clinical) data in an Excel sheet, which you will import into SAS, derive all necessary variables as in the mock shell specifications through various procs and functions, and finally generate a clinical study report. All this will be done using guided SAS Programming steps with detailed explanations at every step of programming.
