Written with medical statisticians and medical researchers in mind, this intermediate-level reference explores the use of SAS for analyzing medical data. Applied Medical Statistics Using SAS covers the whole range of modern statistical methods used in the analysis of medical data, including regression, analysis of variance and covariance, longitudinal and survival data analysis, missing data, generalized additive models (GAMs), and Bayesian methods. The book focuses on performing these analyses using SAS, the software package of choice for those analysing medical data.
Features
Its breadth and depth, coupled with the inclusion of all the SAS code, make this book ideal for practitioners as well as for a graduate class in biostatistics or public health.
Complete data sets, all the SAS code, and complete outputs can be found on an associated website: http://support.sas.com/amsus

"Each chapter in the book is well laid out, contains examples with
SAS code, and ends with a concise summary. The chapters in the book
contain the right level of information to use SAS to apply
different statistical methods. … a good overview of how to apply in
SAS 9.3 the many possible statistical analysis methods."
—Caroline Kennedy, Takeda Development Centre Europe Ltd.,
Statistical Methods for Medical Research, 2015"… a well-organized
and thorough exploration of broad coverage in medical statistics.
The book is an excellent reference of statistical methods with
examples of medical data and SAS codes for statisticians or
statistical analysts who are working in the medical/clinical area.
It also can be a reference book for an introductory or intermediate
graduate biostatistics course."
—Jun Zhao, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 24, 2014"A
recent request to a statistical professional body by a doctor
seeking help with analysing data they had collected was greeted
with derision by some of the members of that body. … The doctor in
question may have been better served by simply purchasing this
wide-ranging and accessible book. Medical students would also
appreciate the range of topics addressed. … I think consultant
statisticians would also appreciate the refreshers/introductions to
statistical techniques and the SAS code for each. Indeed SAS code
is liberally scattered throughout the text, and a couple of SAS
macros are referred to in the meta-analysis chapter. … The text is
supported by ten pages of references and a sizeable index. The code
and example data sets can be downloaded from the SAS website."
—Alice Richardson, International Statistical Review (2013),
81"Applied Medical Statistics Using SAS is a thorough documentation
of statistical methods, inclusive of medical data sets and SAS
code. The book would make an excellent reference guide for medical
data analysts with access to base SAS 9.3 or a textbook for an
introductory and intermediate graduate biostatistics course. … [It]
comes to the market at an appropriate time in the extension of
statistical applications to the medical industry … The thoroughness
of procedures and the consideration the authors included in the
selection of graphs, SAS code, and theory allow this book to be a
resourceful companion for medical analysts. If looking for a broad
selection of medical analyses using base SAS 9.3, this is the book
for you; in addition, if a particular topic is required for further
analyses, the book references additional sources."
