Introduction

Overview of SAS/STAT Software

SAS/STAT software, a component of the SAS System, provides comprehensive statistical tools for 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. A few examples include mixed models, generalized linear models, correspondence analysis, and structural equations. The software is constantly being updated to reflect new methodology.

In addition to 47 procedures for statistical analysis, SAS/STAT software also includes the Market Research Application (MRA), a point-and-click interface to commonly used techniques in market research. Also, the Analyst Application in the SAS System provides convenient access to some of the more commonly used statistical analysis in SAS/STAT software including analysis of variance, regression, logistic regression, mixed models, survival analysis, and some multivariate techniques.

Note that this release also includes several experimental procedures. These are documented in the publication SAS/STAT: Experimental Procedures.
