In this <strong>SAS\/STAT<\/strong> tutorial,\u00a0we will discuss SAS\/STAT model selection. Moreover, we will look at how the model selection is used in SAS\/STAT.<\/p>\n<p>Our focus here will be to understand different procedures that can be used for Statistical model selection. At last, we will see Model selection examples to get better knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s start with SAS\/STAT Model Selection.<\/p>\n<h3>SAS\/STAT Model Selection<\/h3>\n<p>With improvements in data collection techniques, <strong>regression<\/strong> problems that have large numbers of candidates, predictor variables occur in a wide variety of scientific fields and business problems. Through SAS\/STAT model selection, we come to know which <strong>variables<\/strong> we must choose.<\/p>\n<p>SAS\/STAT Model selection is a process of choosing the approximate best model by estimating the performance of various models. The goal of model selection is to produce simple and interpretable models as well as accurate predictions.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Selection Procedures in SAS\/STAT<\/h3>\n<p>Following procedures are used to perform SAS\/STAT model selection of a sample data. Each procedure has a different syntax and is used with different type of data in different contexts. Let us explore each one of these.<\/p>\n<h4>a. PROC GLMSELECT<\/h4>\n<p>The PROC GLMSELECT procedure in SAS\/STAT is a comprehensive tool for model selection and it\u00a0performs effect selection in the framework of general linear models. The procedure offers options for customizing the selection with a wide variety of selection and stopping criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The procedure also provides graphical summaries of the selected search. The GLMSELECT procedure is very similar to REG and GLM.<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0PROC GLMSELECT Syntax-<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">PROC GLMSELECT \u00a0DATASET ;\r\nCLASS &lt;variable&gt;;\r\nMODEL response= effects &lt;options&gt;;<\/pre>\n<p>PROC GLMSELECT MODEL statements are required. All other statements are optional.<br \/>\n<strong>PROC GLMSELECT Example-<\/strong><\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\">ods graphics on;\r\nproc glmselect data=sashelp.class plots=all;\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 class name sex;\r\n\u00a0\u00a0 model age = height weight \/ details=all stats=all;\r\nrun;<\/pre>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The PLOTS=option produces all the plots available, the same is with details= and stats=option. All details and statistics are presented.<\/p>\n<p>If we want any specific details or plots we must specify it after the = sign.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14009\" style=\"width: 713px\"
