SAS for Linear Models
Former title: SAS System for Linear Models
Authors: Ramon C. Littell, Walter W. Stroup, Rudolf J. Freund
Most of the work that statisticians do involves linear models, relatively simple mathematical models based on linear equations. Linear models form a broad category that includes techniques ranging from regression to analysis of variance. For statisticians who have at least a general familiarity with linear models, this book covers many of the practical considerations in applying linear models and implementing them using SAS/STAT. This book is comprehensive enough to serve as the starting point for most statisticians doing regressions and other linear models in SAS.

From the back cover
Delve into linear model theory
This clear and comprehensive guide provides everything you need for powerful linear model analysis. Using a tutorial approach and plenty of examples, the authors lead you through methods related to analysis of variance with fixed and random effects. You will learn to use the appropriate SAS procedure for most experiment designs (including completely random, randomized blocks, and split plot) as well as factorial treatment designs and repeated measures. SAS for Linear Models, Fourth Edition, also includes analysis of covariance, multivariate linear models, and generalized linear models for non-normal data.
New for the Fourth Edition!
This edition has been substantially updated to reflect the evolution of contemporary software and statistical analysis methods. Recognizing their considerable impact on linear model analysis, this book covers MIXED and GENMOD procedures in detail. Also included in this edition are updated examples, new software-related features, and other new material. The book contains new chapters on generalized linear models, analysis of covariance, and repeated measures, plus new information about unbalanced mixed-model analyses.

Review
This is a book for the statistically sophisticated SAS software user. The coverage is quite broad, starting with a brief review of basic regression ideas and extending through mixed models and generalized linear models, including Poisson models, logistic models, models that use quasi-likelihood and generalized estimating equations. Advanced concepts are presented in a user-friendly way and interesting, relevant examples are presented.
