What’s New?

You should review this page at least once a week. News will be posted here, as well as links to supplemental readings that are new for the week. Readings for previous weeks can be found by clicking on the date on the previous page (click the "Back" button to get there).

The first version of the "Introduction to SAS" is now available. Warning: this is not complete; it covers creating libraries, working with data tables and importing data from Excel. If you want to get an early start, either click here to read the current version (5:00 p.m. May 10) or click here to view the Word file. I've added a pdf version for those who like their output neatly formatted. Click here for the pdf file (about 1.2 megabytes).

Notes for lecture May 17: click here to view them as a Word file or here to view a pdf version. (The translation to a web page didn't work real well, but if you're willing to take a chance, click here.)

Notes for lecture April 19: click here to view them as a web page or here to view them as a Word file (which you can then save to your hard drive). (Note: I added two pages to the end of these notes at 11:30 a.m. April 19.)

Prof. Maxwell's notes for weeks 1, 2 and 5 are now available. Click here to download all the notes as a self-extracting file. Save this file into an empty folder on your hard drive, open the folder in Windows Explorer and double-click the file name to extract the three Word files. Or you can view them as web pages by clicking the links below. (Warning: some of the graphics didn't survive the transition to html very well.)
