    Lectures Notes:

    Suggestion: Only print one or two lectures at a time. I often make changes to the notes. Homework and Exams
    Note: The SAS programs were ones that I used in creating the answer keys; that is, they're may be extra things in them that were not needed and I didn't write them with the intenion of posting them on the web.

    Example SAS Programs (most are in ascii/text format): This section will be incorporateding into lectures ntoes Handy Programs and Links:
    • CIforP.f: A FORTRAN program that computes large sample confidence intervals for a proportion. For PC computers, a execultable version of CIforP (i.e., already complied)


    • pvalue.f: A FORTRAN program that computes p-values and (bonferroni) critical values for the standard normal, chi-squared, t, and F distributions (and for correlations). For users of PC type computers, pvalue.exe is an executable (i.e. already compiled) program.


    • Supplement to Agresti (2002, 2007): Software for categorical data (SAS, R/S-splus, Stata, others)


    • Appendix to Agresti (2007): SAS and Data sets from Agresti (2007) and links to R and S-plus materials.
