SAS/STAT software provides many powerful methods to fit general linear models with complicated effects. Some SAS/STAT procedures also enable you to estimate, test, compare, or plot functions of the estimated parameters. Such postprocessing can be as straightforward as predicting responses for given observations, or as complex as plotting multiplicity-adjusted comparisons of LS-means. In the past, extensive postprocessing facilities have been limited to a few procedures, such as the GLM and MIXED procedures. This paper discusses how the PLM procedure, new in SAS/STAT 9.22, works in conjunction with a new STORE statement in many familiar SAS/STAT procedures to provide a full complement of postprocessing features for a wide spectrum of linear models. You can save the model fit information in any one of a dozen procedures and use it later in PROC PLM to perform new tests and analyses on the fit model. The paper also discusses the new EFFECT statement, newly available in a number of procedures in SAS/STAT 9.22, which makes it easy for you to add many more types of effects to your general linear models—splines, polynomials, lags, and more.

Model selection is an important part of any statistical analysis, and indeed is central to the pursuit of science in general. Many authors have examined this question, from both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives, and many tools for selecting the “best model ” have been suggested in the literature. This paper considers the various proposals from a Bayesian decision–theoretic perspective.
