🐸 Amphibian Species Analysis Using SAS

Coursework Project — Data Analysis & Reporting

📌 Project Overview

This coursework project consists of two parts:

• Part 1: Data Analysis Using SAS
• Part 2: A short written report interpreting the findings

The analysis uses amphibian observation data collected from 189 sites surrounding two planned motorways in Poland. The dataset includes the presence or absence of several amphibian species such as:

• Green frogs
• Brown frogs
• Common toad
• Fire-bellied toad
• Tree frog
• Common newt
• Great crested newt

The data file (amphibians.xlsx), originally published on the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

🎯 Objective

To explore, summarize, and analyze amphibian species data using SAS—with a focus on identifying patterns and predicting species presence based on environmental variables.
