Programming Assignments

In order to receive full credit for an assignment, you must submit printouts of the following:

SAS program
SAS log file
SAS output

Any other material requested in class must also be submitted. These will be due on the assigned due date. Due dates will be assigned in class after sufficient material has been covered in the lectures or from readings. Incomplete or late assignments will receive reduced credit.

It is not sufficient that a program run without errors. The program must also be written in a meaningful fashion. In particular, programs must have titles, labels, and variable names that are meaningful for the associated problem.

Assignment #1: (Due:- 7/2)
- Review the SAS materials discussed in class as well as the Normal Distribution lecture notes. You will also need the Fundamental Principle of Data Analysis discussed in class.
- Readings (SAS Review):
  - TITLE & OPTIONS statement
  - INPUT statement
  - INFILE statement
  - PROC PRINT
  - LABEL statement
  - PROC MEANS
  Note: You may also find these readings in both of the optional SAS texts (the LABEL statement is not discussed in Moore & McCabe). Handouts distributed in class were taken from SAS System for Elementary Statistical Analysis, Schlotzhauer & Littell.
Assignment #2: (Due:- 7/16)
- Review Assignment #1 readings and handouts.
- Review the lecture notes on Hypothesis Testing (m_y).
- Readings (SAS Review):
  - PROC UNIVARIATE
    Note: The output presented in the handout distributed in class is for v6.12 of SAS not v8. Although the output looks slightly different, the discussion is accurate - see the link below for the v8 output.
  - Hypothesis Testing & SAS.
Assignment #3:
