Hot on the heels of the 3rd edition of Andy Field's award-winning Discovering Statistics Using SPSS comes this brand new version for students using SAS®. Andy has teamed up with a co-author, Jeremy Miles, to adapt the book with all the most up-to-date commands and programming language from SAS® 9.2. If you're using SAS®, this is the only book on statistics that you will need!

The book provides a comprehensive collection of statistical methods, tests and procedures, covering everything you're likely to need to know for your course, all presented in Andy's accessible and humourous writing style. Suitable for those new to statistics as well as students on intermediate and more advanced courses, the book walks students through from basic to advanced level concepts, all the while reinforcing knowledge through the use of SAS®.

A 'cast of characters' supports the learning process throughout the book, from providing tips on how to enter data in SAS® properly to testing knowledge covered in chapters interactively, and 'real world' and invented examples illustrate the concepts and make the techniques come alive.

The book's companion website (see link above) provides students with a wide range of invented and real published research datasets. Lecturers can find multiple choice questions and PowerPoint slides for each chapter to support their teaching.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very useful 22 Oct 2010
By Susie
Format:Paperback
This is the third book I have read in my efforts to learn SAS and it is the best. I found it very useful for helping me learn SAS and understand some of the statistics which I need to use as part of my research. The author works in psychology so it covers a lot of standard statistics used in psychology and other social sciences, unfortunately it does not cover survival analysis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value 18 May 2010
Format:Paperback
This book has a lot of information explained in a simple to understand language. I thought it was great value for the price. Must have if you use SAS a lot for data analysis.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disapointing - there are programming errors, also no companion website 28 Nov 2010
By Joan Delise - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am returning this book. I began with the chapter on ANCOVA and found that syntax for the sample program the authors provide produces the wrong sum of squares, because the variables are entered into the model statement incorrectly. Also, the Sage publications website promises a companion website, but check this out before you consider buying. All that is offered is a poorly constructed, difficult to search through .doc file. False advertising. A doc file is not a website. The construction of the book is flimsy, even more flimsy than the SPSS version of this book. Also the pages are not glossy or color like Field's SPSS book, they are dull, low quality paper and eyesore to look at. Save your money.

I do recommend the SPSS version of this book, which is very helpful. I would recommend purchasing the SPSS book instead, and searching online to find the syntax for the types of programs you want to run using SAS.

Hope the next edition will be better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done 24 April 2010
By K. Edell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read a few chapters so far, and have found the material to be explained in a way that even us stats-challenged people can understand. However, I'm curious about when the companion Web site will be up. I want to play around with some of the book's examples, but I need to have access to the data sets. I hope the site is up soon. (Also, it's disappointing that, unlike the SPSS versions of the book, this version is not printed in color.)

1.0 out of 5 stars SAS Portion is Awful 31 Aug 2012
By Samson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading the reviews here and of the SPSS version of the book, I took the plunge. What a mistake. Jeremy Miles butchered the SAS portion of this book, rendering it almost useless. I worked through to the end of the fourth chapter and found over half the examples had mistakes in them. Some minor, but some really serious. Through perseverence you can finally, most of the time, figure out what he's trying to show you, but that's not what I expect out of a book that costs this much. I'm trying to learn the material for my job and this book has been a huge disappointment. Don't waste your money until / unless they do a re-write. I was going to buy some of Andy Field's other books, but not after this disaster.
