Spring Cleaning Weblogs, Alex Martinez, Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, & Associates
As a SAS programmer you should know that there are a few sly methods, such as the colon and ampersand modifiers that can be used to quickly read in untraditional files, such as web logs. By accompanying these sly methods with the powerful "SCAN" function you can perform tasks with incredible efficiency. In this paper, I will introduce and demonstrate the application of these time saving methods. (Paper)
Use of SAS® PROCS in Survival Analysis, Lida Gharibvand, PhD Student, Department of Statistics, UCR
Survival analysis involves the modeling of time-to-event data whereby death or failure is considered an "event". The graphic presentation of survival analysis is a significant tool which facilitates clear understanding of the underlying events. Two SAS ® PROCS, LIFETEST and PHREG can generate some of the survival analysis plots using the ODS Graphics option in version 9.1.3. In this paper, I will demonstrate the features of estimated hazard function, survival function, and cumulative martingale residual plots using ODS graphics. The cumulative residuals from PROC PHREG are used to investigate functional form error of covariate and validates of the proportion hazard function. (Paper)
