A comprehensive guide to statistical hypothesis testing with
examples in SAS and R

When analyzing datasets the following questions often
arise:

Is there a short hand procedure for a statistical test available in
SAS or R?

If so, how do I use it?

If not, how do I program the test myself?

This book answers these questions and provides an overview of
the most common

statistical test problems in a comprehensive way, making it easy to
find and perform

an appropriate statistical test.

A general summary of statistical test theory is presented, along
with a basic

description for each test, including the necessary prerequisites,
assumptions, the

formal test problem and the test statistic. Examples in both SAS
and R are provided,

along with program code to perform the test, resulting output and
remarks

explaining the necessary program parameters.

Key features:

* Provides examples in both SAS and R for each test
presented.

* Looks at the most common statistical tests, displayed in a
clear and easy to follow way.

* Supported by a supplementary website href="http://www.d-taeger.de/">http://www.d-taeger.de featuring
example

program code.

Academics, practitioners and SAS and R programmers will find
this book a valuable

resource. Students using SAS and R will also find it an excellent
choice for reference

and data analysis.
