There are 3 modules in this course

By completing this course, learners will be able to implement logistic regression models in SAS, prepare datasets through missing value imputation and categorical encoding, analyze predictors using clustering and screening, and evaluate models with confusion matrices and logit plots. Designed for aspiring data scientists, analysts, and business professionals, this course blends statistical rigor with hands-on SAS demonstrations.

Learners will benefit by gaining both technical knowledge and practical skills to solve real-world classification problems, such as predicting customer behavior, assessing risk, or identifying fraud. Unlike generic statistical tutorials, this course uniquely emphasizes feature engineering, subset selection, and SAS-specific implementation to ensure models are not only accurate but also interpretable and business-ready. Through structured modules, learners progress from foundational concepts to advanced evaluation, ensuring they can confidently build, optimize, and validate logistic regression models. By the end, participants will have mastered the end-to-end workflow of logistic regression in SAS, positioning themselves for success in data-driven roles across industries.

This module introduces learners to the foundations of logistic regression and the importance of data preparation when working in SAS. Students explore the basics of binary classification, apply logistic regression using PROC LOGISTIC, and prepare datasets by handling missing values and encoding categorical variables. By the end of this module, learners will have the skills to structure datasets correctly and build their first logistic regression models in SAS.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
