Can anyone please recommend a good book for statistical reporting with SAS,something good for SAS beginners?
Thnks
"statistical reporting" is somewhat vague, can you give examples?
SAS/Stat ,is this still vague?
or stat procedures,... dont know how else to describe this
If you are in clinical field, I would strongly recommend -
Common Statistical Methods for Clinical Research with SAS Examples by Glenn A. Walker.
This book almost covers all SAS Stat procedures applicable in clinical trials.
I work in the SAS Publications Division. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for. Here is a list of all the Procedures in SAS/STAT.

Here is a book on the Statistical Graphics Procedures you may want to check out. Statistical Graphics Procedures by Example: Effective Graphs Using SAS

I think these books may help you:
i was particularly interested in the regressions (linear,multiple,logistic and polynomial ) but thanks for the list of suggested books
In "Regression and ANOVA , An Integrated Approach Using SAS Software, Keith E. Muller and Bethel A. Fetterman , SAS Publishing":
In "SAS for Linear Models, Ramon C. Littell, Walter W. Stroup and Rudolf J. Freund , SAs Publishing":
In "Categorical Data Analysis Using The SAS System, Maura E. Stokes and Charles S. Davis and Gary G. Koch , SAS Publishing":
How do you rate "Discovering Statistics Using SAS" for one who has SAS programming experience and want to learn about statistics.
The book is a SAS version of teh author's popular book "Discovering Statistics Using SPSS." He admits that he doesn't know SAS, so he brought in a co-author to write the sections that involve SAS syntax.
There is not much programming. The data are analyzed with standard SAS/STAT procedures such as TTEST, GLM, and MIXED. The book is an easy to read text book for social scientists, and is not heavy on the math (for example, I don't think there are any matrix equations.).
The author is British and there is a lot of British humor. The tone is irreverant and a lot of examples involve sex, drugs, and other topics that psychologists and social scientists study. I thought it was funny and fun to read, but conservative readers should beware.
A typical chapter might have 15 pages of theory/explanation before the SAS code appears. Then there is a few pages that discuss how to interpret the output. Sidebars include potential pitfalls.
If I was teaching myself elementary statistics, I think I would enjoy reading this book. You won't get a deep understanding, but you'll get a solid foundation and an appreciation for the subject.
Thanks much Rick for your response. I should give it a try.
Dinesh, I just noticed that answered your inquiry in this forum! Hope you enjoy the title he recommends. Thank you for using SAS Online Communities!

ANOVA, or Analysis Of Variance, is used to compare the averages or means of two or more populations to better understand how they differ. Watch this tutorial for more.
