Overview of Two Common Statistical Computer Packages: SAS and BMDP

Abstract

This report provides a brief introduction to two statistical computer packages, SAS and BMDP. The overall approach used by these packages to input data, perform statistical analyses, etc., is discussed. A common data set is provided and used to give examples of programming steps and the corresponding output. Examples of simple statistical computations such as descriptive statistics, linear regression, and analysis of variance, are all presented along with a reference for more advanced techniques. This paper is not meant to replace the associated manuals, but to provide a beginner with enough information to read the manuals easily.
