title: Using the SAS language to build a computerized system for logging and tabulation of behavioral observations.
abstract: A simple SAS program is presented for tabulation of frequencies and durations of observed behaviors. A BASIC program for timed logging of events is also presented. Techniques are described for building a customized data analysis system based on these two programs. The SAS system permits the user to carry out complex tabulations and analyses without need to write intricate and error-prone routines for sorting data or handling time and date values.
