Find everything you need to know about how to use and manage SAS/SHARE! SAS/SHARE is a multi-user data server that enables two or more clients to share the same SAS file at the same time. It is run in an environment in which multiple clients need to read from and write to records in the same SAS data set. With this title, you will learn how to use the transparent access that SAS/SHARE provides to remote data located in SAS files or in external files, regardless of the data representation of the SAS file. You will also learn how to combine and filter data to obtain the most efficient use of network and computing resources. New features described in this guide include the network security protocol Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which encrypts data that is accessed between a client and a server; how a SAS/SHARE client that uses TCP/IP can identify a server by using a port number; and how a SAS/SHARE client can use an encoded password in any SAS/SHARE statement to identify the name of the node that the SAS/SHARE server runs on. Improved documentation about SAS system options that are relevant to SAS/SHARE, server log messages, and steps for creating the SAS/SHARE server environment under the UNIX and Windows operating environments is also included. This title is also available online. Supports releases 9.1 and higher of SAS software.

This User’s Guide is a resource for investigators and stakeholders who develop and review observational comparative effectiveness research protocols. It explains how to (1) identify key considerations and best practices for research design; (2) build a protocol based on these standards and best practices; and (3) judge the adequacy and completeness of a protocol. Eleven chapters cover all aspects of research design, including: developing study objectives, defining and refining study questions, addressing the heterogeneity of treatment effect, characterizing exposure, selecting a comparator, defining and measuring outcomes, and identifying optimal data sources. Checklists of guidance and key considerations for protocols are provided at the end of each chapter. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews. More more information, please consult the Agency website: www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov)

Learn how to solve basic statistical problems with Ron Cody's easy-to-follow style using the point-and-click SAS Studio tasks. Aimed specifically at the health sciences, Biostatistics by Example Using SAS Studio, provides an introduction to SAS Studio tasks. The book includes many biological and health-related problem sets and is fully compatible with SAS University Edition. After reading this book you will be able to understand temporary and permanent SAS data sets, and you will learn how to create them from various data sources. You will also be able to use SAS Studio statistics tasks to generate descriptive statistics for continuous and categorical data. The inferential statistics portion of the book covers the following topics: paired and unpaired t tests one-way analysis of variance N-way ANOVA correlation simple and multiple regression logistic regression categorical data analysis power and sample size calculations Besides describing each of these statistical tests, the book also discusses the assumptions that need to be met before running and interpreting these tests. For two-sample tests and N-way tests, nonparametric tests are also described. This book leads you step-by-step through each of the statistical tests with numerous screen shots, and you will see how to read and interpret all of the output generated by these tests. Experience with some basic statistical tests used to analyze medical data or classroom experience in biostatistics or statistics is required. Although the examples are related to the medical and biology fields, researchers in other fields such as psychology or education will find this book helpful. No programming experience is required.
