Additionally , SPSS Statistics Ba se offers a broad range of algor ithms for compar ing means and predictive techniques such as t-test, analysis of var iance, linear regression and ordinal regression. Advanced Statistics focuses on techniques often used in sophisticated experimental and biomedical research. It includes procedures for general linear[...]

Regression provides techniques for analyzing data that do not fit traditional linear statistical models. It inclu des p rocedures fo r probit analysis, l ogistic regression, weig ht esti mation, two-stage least-squares regression, and general nonlinear regression. Amos™ ( a nalysis of mo ment s tructures) uses structural equation modeling to conf[...]

 SPSS Stati stics command sy ntax is not a vailable to t he user . This means that it i s not possibl e to repeat an analysis by saving a series of commands in a syntax or “job” file, as can be done in the full version of IBM® SPSS® Statistics.  Scripting and automation are not available to the user . This means that you cannot create s[...]
