Preface
SPSS
®
11.5 is a comprehensive system for analyzing data. SPSS can take data from
almost any type of file and use them to generate tabulated reports, charts, and plots of
distributions and trends, descriptive statistics, and complex statistical analyses.
The Advanced Models option is an add-on enhancement that provides additional
statistical analysis techniques. The procedures in Advanced Models must be used with
the SPSS 11.5 Base and are completely integrated into that system.
The Advanced Models option includes procedures for:
 GLM—General linear models, which can accommodate analysis of variance
(ANOVA), regression, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), in both univariate
and multivariate models. Repeated measures and doubly repeated measures models
are also available.
 Linear mixed models.
 Variance components.
 Model selection loglinear analysis (hierarchical).
 General loglinear analysis.
 Logit loglinear analysis.
 Ordinal regression analysis.
 Survival analysis, including life tables, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox
regression.
