Learn to perform a wide variety of regression analyses using SAS^® software with this example-driven revised favorite from SAS Publishing. With this Third Edition you will learn the basics of performing regression analyses using a wide variety of models including nonlinear models. Other topics covered include

• performing linear regression analyses using PROC REG
• diagnosing and providing remedies for data problems, including outliers and multicollinearity.
