- fits general linear models with fixed and random effects under the assumption
that the data are normally distributed. The types of models include:
- simple regression
- multiple regression
- analysis of variance for balanced or unbalanced data
- analysis of covariance
- response surface models
- weighted regression
- polynomial regression
- multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA)
- partial correlation
- repeated measures analysis of variance
- fits covariance structures including:
- variance components
- compound symmetry
- unstructured
- AR(1) and (ARMA(1,1,)
- Toeplitz
- spatial
- general linear
- factor analytic
- offers six estimation methods for the covariance parameters including:
- Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML)
- Maximum Likelihood (ML)
- Method of Moments:
- MIVQUE0
- Type I
- Type II
- Type III
- uses PROC GLM - type syntax by using MODEL, RANDOM, and REPEATED statements
for model specification and CONTRAST, ESTIMATE, and LSMEANS statements for inferences
- provides appropriate standard errors for all specified estimable linear combinations
of fixed and random effects, and corresponding t and F tests
- construct custom hypothesis tests
- construct custom scalar estimates and their confidence limits
- compute least square means and least square mean differences for classification fixed effects
- permits subject and group effects that enable blocking and heterogeneity, respectively
- perform multiple comparison of main effect means
- capacity to handle unbalanced data
- computes Type I, Type II, and Type III tests of fixed effects
- perform sampling-based Bayesian analysis
- perform weighted estimation
- obtain separate analyses on observations in groups
- perform repeated measures analysis
- use ODS create a SAS data set corresponding to any table
- uses ODS Graphics to create graphs as part of its output
