The objective of the second edition of this book is to introduce statistical data mining
concepts, describe methods in statistical data mining from sampling to decision
trees, demonstrate the features of user-friendly data mining SAS tools and, above
all, allow the book users to download compiled data mining SAS (Version 9.0 and
later) macro files and help them perform complete data mining. The user-friendly
SAS macro approach integrates the statistical and graphical analysis tools available
in SAS systems and provides complete statistical data mining solutions without
writing SAS program codes or using the point-and-click approach. Step-by-step
instructions for using SAS macros and interpreting the results are emphasized in
each chapter. Thus, by following the step-by-step instructions and downloading
the user-friendly SAS macros described in the book, data analysts can perform
complete data mining analysis quickly and effectively.
