UCLA Statistical Consulting Classes and Workshops

Classes and Workshops, Spring 2013

• Bayesian Analyses Using SAS, Thursday, April 25, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Math Sciences 5628
  Summary:  The course focuses on Bayesian analyses using the PHREG, GENMOD, and MCMC procedures. The examples include logistic regression, Cox proportional hazards model, general linear mixed model, and the zero-inflated Poisson model. A Bayesian analysis of a crossover design and a meta-analysis are also shown.  You will learn how to explain the concepts of Bayesian analysis, illustrate Bayesian analyses in PROC GENMOD, PROC PHREG and PROC MCMC, incorporate prior distributions in a Bayesian analysis, and illustrate a Bayesian analysis approach to a meta-analysis.

• Imputation Techniques in SAS, Friday, April 26, 9 a.m. to 12 noon in Math Sciences 5628
  Summary:  Concentrating on the needs of those relatively new to the use of multiple imputation tools in SAS, this course provides a general introduction to using the MI and MIANALYZE procedures for multiple imputation and subsequent analyses with imputed data sets.  You will learn how to recognize the type of missing data patterns that exist in your data sets, analyze imputed data sets using standard SAS procedures, use PROC MIANALYZE to correctly analyze output from imputed files and subsequent procedure output from standard SAS procedures.

• High Performance Analytics, Friday, April 26, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Math Sciences 5628
  Summary:  This course will illustrate the high performance analytics (HPA) capability of SAS. Although designed to run on servers and clouds, this course will show that HPA runs on a laptop.  You will also learn about the new Proc REG, which encompasses GLM, GLMSELECT and REG all in one.
