Analyzing Health Data in R for SAS Users

Analyzing Health Data in R for SAS Users is aimed at helping health data analysts who use SAS accomplish some of the same tasks in R. It is targeted to public health students and professionals who have a background in biostatistics and SAS software, but are new to R.

For professors, it is useful as a textbook for a descriptive or regression modeling class, as it uses a publicly-available dataset for examples, and provides exercises at the end of each chapter. For students and public health professionals, not only is it a gentle introduction to R, but it can serve as a guide to developing the results for a research report using R software.

Features:

• Gives examples in both SAS and R
• Demonstrates descriptive statistics as well as linear and logistic regression
• Provides exercise questions and answers at the end of each chapter
• Uses examples from the publicly available dataset, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2014 data
• Guides the reader on producing a health analysis that could be published as a research report
• Gives an example of hypothesis-driven data analysis
• Provides examples of plots with a color insert

《在R中分析健康數據給SAS用戶》旨在幫助使用SAS的健康數據分析師在R中完成一些相同的任務。它針對具有生物統計學和SAS軟件背景，但對R新手的公共衛生學生和專業人士。

對於教授來說，它可作為描述性或回歸建模課程的教材，因為它使用了一個公開可用的數據集作為示例，並在每章末提供練習題。對於學生和公共衛生專業人士來說，它不僅是R的初步介紹，還可以作為使用R軟件開發研究報告結果的指南。

特點：
- 提供SAS和R的示例
- 展示描述性統計以及線性和邏輯回歸
- 在每章末提供練習問題和答案
- 使用公開可用的數據集《行為風險因素監測系統（BRFSS）2014數據》的示例
- 引導讀者進行可作為研究報告發表的健康分析
- 提供假設驅動的數據分析示例
- 提供帶有彩色插圖的示例
