Description

|| About Business Analytics using SAS Training Course

Business Analytics Using SAS online training course is for those who want to enhance their predictive and statistical modeling skills to drive data-informed business outcomes. If modeling data for business outcomes is relevant in your job role or industry, this certificate is a valuable indication of your proficiency.  

 

Business Analytics for SAS software users who perform statistical analyses using SAS/STAT software. The focus is on t tests, ANOVA, and linear regression, and includes a brief introduction to logistic regression. This course (or equivalent knowledge) is a prerequisite to many of the courses in the statistical analysis curriculum. A more advanced treatment of ANOVA and regression occurs in the Statistics ANOVA and Regression course. A more advanced treatment of logistic regression occurs in the Categorical Data Analysis Using Logistic Regression course and the Predictive Modeling Using Logistic Regression course. This course covers predictive modeling using SAS/STAT software with emphasis on the LOGISTIC procedure. This course also discusses selecting variables and interactions, recoding categorical variables based on the smooth weight of evidence, assessing models, treating missing values, and using efficiency techniques for massive data sets.There are numerous hands-on practices integrated throughout the three courses of the program. Data examples are general enough to be applicable to a broad range of subject areas. Specific examples you will see in the courses address agriculture, manufacturing, health care, banking, retail, and nonprofit.
