Concentrating on the needs of those relatively new to the use of multiple imputation tools in SAS, this course provides a general introduction to using the MI and MIANALYZE procedures for multiple imputation and subsequent analyses with imputed data sets.
Skills Gained
- recognize the type of missing data patterns that exist in your data sets
- analyze imputed data sets using standard SAS procedures
- use PROC MIANALYZE to correctly analyze output from imputed files and subsequent procedure output from standard SAS procedures
- use real-world data sets in the virtual lab to obtain experience running SAS imputation procedures.
Who Can Benefit
- Analysts, data managers, and other data professionals working with data sets with missing data
Prerequisites
- Before attending this course, you should
- have a solid understanding of the SAS DATA step, which can be gained by attending the SAS® Programming 1: Essentials course or the SAS® Programming 2: Data Manipulation Techniques course, or have equivalent experience
- have an intermediate knowledge of statistics, which can be gained by attending either the Statistics 1: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression course or the Statistics 2: ANOVA and Regression course, or have equivalent academic training.

It was an excellent experience starting from preparations and customizations of course content that fits to our needs.
Lot of material was covered in 3 days. Would be nice to have some more time to process the lab sections, especially.
The course was good a good refresher and also updated me on some newer AWS products. I would have prefered that we were supplied with training materials that we could keep to review while studying for the exam.
The material was informative and presented in an way that was easy to digest
ExitCertified provided excellent instructors to walk through course materials and answer any resulting questions.
