Absract

Data analysis can rarely be done without a statistical software. This time around one of the very powerful and most famous software for Statistical Analysis (SAS) will be taught right from the beginning up to data analysis level. Different types of data analysis methods will be covered. 

Alongside SAS, electronic methods of data collection shall be introduced. Apparently surveyers are moving from  using questtionare as a tool for data collection to the use of electronic devices which after capturing  the data they immediately  process  them  ready for data analysis. A surveyer  need not carriy a bulk of questtionares to the field and need not enter the data after coming from the field. Further to this your data are always safe at any time even in the scenario when you loose the devices or any other document. You could also make prelimnaly analysis of data in the course of the survey and this could help you  improving your survey.Let us learn about these methods!
You are warmly welcomed !
