I have access to a broad set of procedures—for example, PROC MIXED, PROC GLM, PROC LOGISTIC, PROC PHREG, and others—that cover an enormous range of statistical models (linear, mixed-effects, survival, and categorical), with mature, well-tested implementations. For complex study designs such as unbalanced data, repeated measures, and multilevel models, the mixed-model procedures in particular are widely considered a strong option.
