Learn or refresh core statistical methods for business with SAS® and approach real business analytics issues and techniques using a practical approach that avoids complex mathematics and instead employs easy-to-follow explanations.
Business Statistics Made Easy in SAS® is designed as a user-friendly, practice-oriented, introductory text to teach businesspeople, students, and others core statistical concepts and applications. It begins with absolute core principles and takes you through an overview of statistics, data and data collection, an introduction to SAS®, and basic statistics (descriptive statistics and basic associational statistics). The book also provides an overview of statistical modeling, effect size, statistical significance and power testing, basics of linear regression, introduction to comparison of means, basics of chi-square tests for categories, extrapolating statistics to business outcomes, and some topical issues in statistics, such as big data, simulation, machine learning, and data warehousing.
The book steers away from complex mathematical-based explanations, and it also avoids basing explanations on the traditional build-up of distributions, probability theory and the like, which tend to lose the practice-oriented reader. Instead, it teaches the core ideas of statistics through methods such as careful, intuitive written explanations, easy-to-follow diagrams, step-by-step technique implementation, and interesting metaphors.
With no previous SAS experience necessary, Business Statistics Made Easy in SAS® is an ideal introduction for beginners. It is suitable for introductory undergraduate classes, postgraduate courses such as MBA refresher classes, and for the business practitioner. It is compatible with SAS® University Edition.

Explore powerful SAS analytics and the Internet of Things! The world that we live in is more connected than ever before. The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of mechanical and electronic devices connected to one another and to software through the internet. Businesses can use the IoT to quickly make intelligent decisions based on massive amounts of data gathered in real time from these connected devices. IoT increases productivity, lowers operating costs, and provides insights into how businesses can serve existing markets and expand into new ones. Intelligence at the Edge: Using SAS with the Internet of Things is for anyone who wants to learn more about the rapidly changing field of IoT. Current practitioners explain how to apply SAS software and analytics to derive business value from the Internet of Things. The cornerstone of this endeavor is SAS Event Stream Processing, which enables you to process and analyze continuously flowing events in real time. With step-by-step guidance and real-world scenarios, you will learn how to apply analytics to streaming data. Each chapter explores a different aspect of IoT, including the analytics life cycle, monitoring, deployment, geofencing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, condition-based maintenance, computer vision, and edge devices.

Analytics offers many capabilities and options to measure and improve data quality, and SAS is perfectly suited to these tasks. Gerhard Svolba's Data Quality for Analytics Using SAS focuses on selecting the right data sources and ensuring data quantity, relevancy, and completeness. The book is made up of three parts. The first part, which is conceptual, defines data quality and contains text, definitions, explanations, and examples. The second part shows how the data quality status can be profiled and the ways that data quality can be improved with analytical methods. The final part details the consequences of poor data quality for predictive modeling and time series forecasting.
