Welcome to the student materials for the companion website to Andy Field and Jeremy Miles Discovering Statistics Using SAS.

Hot on the heels of Andy Field’s best-selling Discovering Statistics Using SPSS 3rd Edition (2009), the author has teamed up with a co-author, Jeremy Miles, to adapt this textbook for SAS® using the most up-to-date commands and programming language available in latest release 9.2.

SAS® is a very powerful and popular package used throughout the world in university education, especially in the Behavioural Sciences, Business and Economics.   As with its sister textbook, Discovering Statistics Using SAS® takes the entry level student from first principles right the way through to advanced level statistical concepts all the while grounding knowledge through the use of SAS®.  Its approach is to teach statistical concepts as well as the computational principles, commands and language of the SAS® software package in one textbook, and given this comprehensive coverage this textbook should be enthusiastically adopted on a wide variety of statistics courses.

Following the same award-winning contents structure, accessible writing style and pedagogical approach (including a ‘cast of characters’ that feature in each chapter) as for its sister textbook, Discovering Statistics Using SAS® will be a hugely popular textbook for SAS® users pursuing courses in statistics who then need to apply their knowledge and skills to tackling research reports, dissertations or theses.

Key features of this textbook:

  • Starts with introductory statistical theory and methods and finishes with advanced level methods – the book for any research problem, and any level of course use.
  • Textbook features and characters support the learning process throughout the book, from providing tips on how to enter data in SAS® properly to testing knowledge covered in chapters interactively.
  • Employs a combination of invented and real published research datasets for students.  Found on the Companion Website, along with a host of other materials for lecturers and student resources.
