Take Advantage of Public Use Data Sets (PUFs) to Learn SAS® Analytical, Graphical and Reporting Techniques, Analytic and Data Management Tools, and Explore Specialized Techniques
February 1, 2022  |  10am-2pm Pacific  |   $125/person

Interest in data sources useful for demonstrating statistical, graphical and reporting techniques has increased with the exponential growth of interest and activity in the fields of Data Science, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. Thus, freely available and reliable banks of data have become highly sought after.

This tutorial will introduce three high quality and robust data sources for analytic work suitable for journal submissions, and explore in depth public use data sets and BASE SAS tools that can be used to analyze and graphically represent measures and trends. These data sets include USAID’s Demographic and Health Surveys which include health survey data from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe; the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Care Compare Tool (data.medicare.gov and data.cms.gov) focusing on nursing homes; and CDC’s National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) which will demonstrate how to work with a complex sampling design. Exploration of the NHANES survey will also include the use of National Cancer Institute (NCI) macros to analyze usual daily intake.

The tutorial will prepare attendees to construct an analysis plan (AP) and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for researching, analyzing and documenting PUFs. SAS tools used will be standard statistical and reporting tools available in BASE SAS, as well as geographic tools including PROC GEOCODE.

About the instructor
Louise Hadden has been using, and loving, SAS since the days of punch cards and computers the size of a not-so-tiny house. She spends most of her time in support of health policy analytics at Abt Associates Inc., and loves a good SAS reporting challenge. She is also the girl with the SAS tattoo!
