Product Description
Need a guide to using SAS to carry out non-parametric analysis? SAS COMPANION FOR NONPARAMETRIC STATISTICS provides an excellent knowlege base and provides examples you can use to practice using the program. All SAS examples presented are self-contained and can be entered into SAS as they appear, and executed. Thus, you don't have to deal with issues of creating SAS data sets before using the programs. In addition to presenting the SAS code to obtain various nonparametric analyses, brief introductions to the methods themselves are provided. Particular attention is given to how SAS calculates the results it presents.

 Overpriced but handy September 8, 2006

This short (100 page) book provides a good cookbook for how to perform many nonparametric analyses with SAS 8+. I was disapointed to discover that it does not cover why you would want to use a nonparamtric stat or diagnostics to guide you to the correct nonparametric stats instead of the parametric analogs. It also doesn't provide enough explanation of all of the output that the nonparametric procedures kick out. That said, it does provide many useful examples complete with datasets with well annotated output showing you which lines you want to pay attention to for different stats. It is the only book I have seen that covers in detail several SAS procs (NPAR1WAY, MULTTEST and LOESS) and it has lots of nice nonparametric tricks for common SAS procedures (like UNIVARIATE AND FREQ). Overall it is a handy book.
 Overpriced material... October 5, 2005

The cost of this book is too high considering the content. The book has usable information for us in the nonparametric area of study but does not provide extensive benefits beyond that of an internet search. Overall, save your money and search online.
