Business Statistics for SAS Enterprise Guide

Objectives:
After the course, attendees will be able to apply various statistical methods for both continuous and discrete data, to interpret the output from Enterprise Guide tasks and to store information via the output delivery system for subsequent reporting.  The course will use statistical and graphical tasks to cover both descriptive and graphical data exploration techniques, hypothesis testing, sampling methods and the comparison of two groups of data.

Audience:
This course is for statisticians, data analysts and scientists wishing to explore and analyse data with Enterprise Guide. The course is appropriate for those making use of statistics in all industries.

Attendees should have an understanding of statistical concepts and be trained to at least fundamental level in Enterprise Guide. Whilst this course provides a brief overview of each methodology discussed, it does not intend to teach statistical methods.
