现在SAS之类的分析软件伴随现在学术界和企业界的需要，越来越为大家接受。想到在大几年前很多人都不知道SAS为何物，听说过的也不确切知道其究竟能做什么；发现俺们的和国际接轨的速度是越来越快。 于是越来越多的人在论坛、在QQ、MSN、Email上问SAS的一些问题——绝大多数问题集中在不超过50个问题上，也许这是一个通用的法则——其中有人提到SAS学习的问题。依据我个人的经验，如果想相对系统的学习SAS以便于在随后的学习和工作中能熟练使用，那么我个人建议可以采用如下学习路径： 1、The little SAS book 2、SAS Language Reference: Concepts 3、SAS Language Reference: Dictionary 4、Step-by-Step Programming with Base SAS software 5、SAS Marco Language 6、SAS Marco Programming Made Easy --------------------------------- 7、Base SAS Procedure Guide 8、SAS/STAT User's Guide 9、SAS SQL Procedure --------------------------------- Other 基本上认证看完1~6本，考SAS的高级证书不会有太多问题了； 如果想有达到熟练于胸的地步，那么Base和STAT的手册不妨看完——不过两本手册确实篇幅大了，也意味着内容丰富吧。SQL这部分是比较新的东西，但是我向来建议做数据分析的人能熟练使用SQL，以为数据整理、简单汇总总是在实际工作中很重要； 至于Other部分，就选取有兴趣的部分来做吧——首先推荐学下ODS和IML，如果没有绝对必要不要贸然学SCL这部分内容——ETS、OR、QC等部分依据实际需要来学，针对具体的专业来选取好了。 另外，国内已经有6.12版本的Base、STAT和ETS（6.12相应的版本）手册的翻译——如果英文不太好的，那么就看翻译过来的7、8，虽然可能有些新功能就此暂时学习不到了。 下面是一些网络上的免费资料，可以参考下；另外，遇到问题，尽量先找下网上是否已经有回答了，毕竟SAS已经如此经典了，资料已经很多很多了。尤其是初学者能提出的问题，一般网上就都有答案了。 学习SAS的使用，难度其实并不大，只是需要循序渐进，多做练习，相信达到熟练运用不成问题。 SAS's web www.sas.com Tutorial for SAS 8.2, the University of Reading. http://www.personal.rdg.ac.uk/~snqcolin/SAS82tutorial.pdf Examples from SAS Programming by Example By Cody and Pass http://www.geocities.com/statbookstore/sas/sasex/sasex.html Efficient way to learn basics of SAS Base.Penn State University http://www.stat.psu.edu/~jianchu/STAT480.htm#Lecture Notes Data Management.West Virginia University http://www.wvu.edu/~support/training/classmat/sas/datamgt.pdf SAS Intermediate course.
