Some users are moving directly from SAS/STAT 9.1.3 to SAS/STAT 9.22. The following are some of the major enhancements that were introduced in SAS/STAT 9.2:

• ODS Statistical Graphics became production and over 60 procedures in SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS^® , SAS/QC^® , and Base SAS^® software have been modified to use it. Many new plots are now produced by these procedures, either by default or with the specification of procedure options.

• The GENMOD, LIFEREG, and PHREG procedures now include facilities for Bayesian analysis.

• The MCMC procedure is a flexible simulation-based procedure that is suitable for fitting a wide range of Bayesian models.

• The SEQDESIGN procedure designs interim analyses for clinical trials. The SEQTEST procedure performs the interim analyses based on design information produced by the SEQDESIGN procedure.
