IBM SPSS Amos v20.0.0 Build 817
IBM SPSS Amos gives you the power to easily perform structural equation modeling
to build models with more accuracy than with standard multivariate statistics t
echniques.
With SPSS Amos, you can specify, estimate, assess, and present your model in an
intuitive interface to show hypothesized relationships among variables. Alternat
ively, SPSS Amos offers a non-graphical method to specify models. SPSS Amos is t
he perfect tool for a variety of purposes, including:
# Psychology - Develop models to understand how drug, clinical, and art therapie
s affect mood
# Medical and healthcare research Confirm which of three variables confidence, sa
vings, or research best predicts a doctors support for prescribing generic drugs
# Social sciences Study how socioeconomic status, organizational membership, and
other determinants influence differences in voting behavior and political engag
ement
# Educational research Evaluate training program outcomes to determine impact on
classroom effectiveness
# Market research Model how customer behavior impacts new product sales or analy
ze customer satisfaction and brand loyalty
# Institutional research Study how work-related issues affect job satisfaction
# Business planning Create econometric and financial models and analyze factors
affecting workplace job attainment
# Program evaluation Evaluate program outcomes or behavioral models using SEM to
replace traditional stepwise regression
Features and benefits
* IBM SPSS Amos makes structural equation modeling (SEM) easy and accessible
IBM SPSS Amos builds models that more realistically reflect complex relationship
s because any numeric variable, whether observed (such as non-experimental data
from a survey) or latent (such as satisfaction and loyalty) can be used to predi
ct any other numeric variable.
Its rich, visual framework lets you to easily compare, confirm and refine models
.
Quickly build graphical models using SPSS Amos simple drag-and-drop drawing tools
. Models that used to take days to create are just minutes away from completion.
And once the model is finished, simply click your mouse and assess your models f
it. Then make any modifications and print a presentation-quality graphic of your
final model.
A non-graphical, programmatic approach, introduced with SPSS Amos 20, improves a
ccessibility for those who can benefit by specifying models directly. Its script
ing capabilities improve the productivity of users who need to run large, compli
cated models, and make it easy to generate many similar models that differ sligh
tly.
Its approach to multivariate analysis encompasses and extends standard methods i
ncluding regression, factor analysis, correlation and analysis of variance.
* Obtain Bayesian estimates of model parameters and other quantities
Bayesian analysis enables you to apply your subject-area expertise or business i
nsight to improve estimates by specifying an informative prior distribution. Mar
kov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is the underlying computational method for Bayesian
estimation. The MCMC algorithm is fast and the MCMC tuning parameter can be adj
usted automatically.
Perform estimation with ordered categorical and censored data Create a model bas
ed on non-numerical data without having to assign numerical scores to the data.
Or work with censored data without having to make assumptions other than the ass
umption of normality. You can also impute numerical values for ordered-categoric
al and censored data. The resulting dataset can be used as input to programs tha
t require complete numerical data.
* Impute missing values or latent variable scores
Choose from three data imputation methods: regression, stochastic regression, or
Bayesian. Use regression imputation to create a single completed dataset. Use s
tochastic regression imputation or Bayesian imputation to create multiple impute
d datasets. You can also impute missing values or latent variable scores.
nput data from a variety of file formats (IBM SPSS Statistics, Micosoft Excel, text
files, or many others). Select grouping variables and group values. IBM SPSS Am
os also accepts data in a matrix format if youve computed a correlation or covari
ance matrix.
