Predictive Analytics using SAS SAS Statistics: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression Generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs Perform analysis of variance and apply multiple Comparison techniques Perform linear regression and assess the assumptions Use regression model selection techniques to aid in the choice of predictor variables in multiple regression Use diagnostic statistics to assess statistical Assumptions and identify potential outliers in multiple regression Use chi-square statistics to detect associations Among categorical variables Fit a multiple logistic regression model. Predictive Modelling Using Logistic Regression Use logistic regression to model an individual's behaviour as a function of known inputs Create effect plots and odds ratio plots using ODS Statistical Graphics Handle missing data values Tackle multicollinearity in predictors Assess model performance and compare models.
