BIOE 847 - Advanced SAS Programming

Cr Hrs: 2 (16-32-0)
This course provides advanced programming techniques in SAS/SQL, MACRO languages, and SAS Graphics. The natural flow of the course is intended to start with an introduction to simple SQL programming using a single dataset followed by discussions on how to work with multiple datasets with common primary key variables. Upon completing the SQL component, a smooth transition is planned to simple MACRO programming in SAS, which will be gradually advanced to more efficient yet complicated MACRO programming. This class is taught in a hybrid setting where we will have onsite review lectures in the SAS-laboratory in the Department of Preventive Medicine, and the students will be required to have a laptop with SAS access where they will work on hands-on practice of exercises from SAS SQL and MACRO Programing as well as SAS Graphics.
