Designed for researchers primarily interested in what their data are revealing, Applied Regression and ANOVA Using SASpresents rigorous statistical methods without burdening readers with matrix algebra and calculus. Each method is introduced by discussing its characteristic features, the reasons readers would want to use it, and its underlying assumptions. The book then guides readers in applying each method by describing a step-by-step approach, giving SAS code to implement the steps. The SAS code is annotated, which allows users to readily adapt it to their own data set.

In the step-by-step approach, readers are given practical advice on how to evaluate in depth whether the assumptions of a method are reasonable for their data set. The book also gives practical advice on interpreting results in the light of modern multiple testing procedures and simultaneous confidence intervals.

Readers are shown throughout the book how high resolution, publication-ready graphics associated with regression and ANOVA methods are produced with virtually no effort by the SAS user. Suggestions for navigating issues encountered in analyzing real-life data make this book invaluable to both non-statisticians and applied statisticians.
