Multivariate Statistics for Understanding Complex Data
This course teaches how to apply and interpret a variety of multivariate statistical methods to research and business data. The course emphasizes understanding the results of the analysis and presenting your conclusions with graphs.
Mixed Models Analyses Using SAS
This course teaches you how to analyze linear mixed models using the MIXED procedure. A brief introduction to analyzing generalized linear mixed models using the GLIMMIX procedure is also included.
Multilevel Modeling of Hierarchical and Longitudinal Data Using SAS
This course teaches how to identify complex and dynamic patterns within multilevel data to inform a variety of decision-making needs. The course provides a conceptual understanding of multilevel linear models (MLM) and multilevel generalized linear models (MGLM) and their appropriate use in a variety of settings.
The self-study e-learning includes:
- Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
- Virtual lab time to practice.
Longitudinal Data Analysis Using Discrete and Continuous Responses
This course is for scientists and analysts who want to analyze observational data collected over time. It is not for SAS users who have collected data in a complicated experimental design. They should take the Mixed Models Analyses Using the SAS System course instead.
The self-study e-learning includes:
- Annotatable course notes in PDF format.
- Virtual lab time to practice.
Statistical Analysis with the GLIMMIX Procedure
This course focuses on the GLIMMIX procedure, a procedure for fitting generalized linear mixed models.
Probability Surveys 1: Design, Descriptive Statistics, and Analysis
This course focuses on designing business and household surveys and analyzing data collected under complex survey designs. The course addresses the SAS procedures POWER, SURVEYSELECT, SURVEYMEANS, SURVEYFREQ, SURVEYREG, SURVEYLOGISTIC, and SURVEYIMPUTE. In addition, the graphing procedures GPLOT, SGPLOT, and SGPANEL are also covered.
Structural Equation Modeling Using SAS
This course introduces the experienced statistical analyst to structural equation modeling (SEM) in the CALIS procedure in SAS/STAT software. The course also introduces the PATHDIAGRAM statement in the CALIS procedure, which draws path diagrams based on fitted models.
Structural equation modeling is a statistical technique that combines elements of traditional multivariate models, such as regression analysis, factor analysis, and simultaneous equation modeling. These models are often represented as matrices, equations, and/or path diagrams and can explicitly account for uncertainty in observed variables and for estimation bias due to measurement error. Competing models can be compared to one another, providing information about the complex drivers of the outcome variables of interest. Many applications of SEM can be found in the social, economic, and behavioral sciences, where measurement error and uncertain causal conditions are commonly encountered. This course does not address models containing categorical endogenous variables or multilevel SEM, as these methods are not supported in the CALIS procedure.
Using SAS Viya REST APIs with Python and R
In this course, you learn to use the R and Python APIs to take control of SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) and submit actions from Jupyter Notebook. You learn to upload data into the in-memory distributed environment, analyze data, and create predictive models on CAS using familiar open-source functionality via the SWAT (SAS Wrapper for Analytics Transfer) package.
SAS Programming for R Users
This course is for experienced R users who want to apply their existing skills and extend them to the SAS environment. Emphasis is placed on programming and not statistical theory or interpretation. Students in this course should have knowledge of plotting, manipulating data, iterative processing, creating functions, applying functions, linear models, generalized linear models, mixed models, stepwise model selection, matrix algebra, and statistical simulations.
Responsible Innovation and Trustworthy AI
This course is designed for anyone who wants to gain a deeper understanding about the importance of trust and responsibility in AI, analytics, and innovation. The content is especially geared to those who are making business decisions based on machine learning and AI systems and those who are designing and training AI systems.
Whether you are a programmer, an executive, an advisory board member, a tester, a manager, or an individual contributor, this course helps you gain foundational knowledge and skills to consider the issues related to responsible innovation and trustworthy AI. Empowered with the knowledge from this course, you can strive to find ways to design, develop, and use machine learning and AI systems more responsibly.
This course will be released several modules at a time until all modules are available. We expect that each module can be completed in under an hour, and you can work at your own pace to complete the material. As we release new modules, you might lose progress through the material that you have completed, so please make a note of where you are leaving off before exiting the course.
