Highlights in version 26 include: • Ability to analyze data with powerful new statistics • Advancements to existing procedures and scripting commands – Enhancements to Bayesian statistics – Reliability analysis improvements – Improved scripting commands • Production facility enhancements IBM ILOG(R) CPLEX(R) Optimization Studio ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio V12.9 includes a new monthly Project Edition license, which provides the organization entitlement to both development and deployment editions. This allows the organization the opportunity to determine which option is the better solution before making a decision regarding a perpetual license. Overview SPSS Statistics V26 can help: • Analyze data with powerful new statistics. – Obtain a more comprehensive analysis of the relationship between variables by using Quantile regression. – Assess the accuracy of model predictions visually by plotting a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. This is one of the most important evaluation metrics for checking any classification model's performance. IBM United States Software Announcement 219-193 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 1 • Extend clients' analysis with advancements to existing procedures and scripting commands. – Enhancements to Bayesian statistics include the following: -- One-way repeated measures ANOVA -- One sample Binomial -- One sample Poisson -- Loglinear models – Enhancements to reliability analysis include the reliability analysis that also provides Fleiss Multiple Rater Kappa statistics that assess the interrater agreement to determine the reliability among the various raters . – Scripting commands -- MATRIX command enhancements -- MIXED and GENLINMIXED enhancements • Save time and effort with productivity enhancements. Includes enhancements to SPSS Statistics production facility updates to reporting and batch job scheduling without SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services. • SPSS Amos V26 enhancements ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio V12.9 includes a new monthly Project Edition license, which provides the organization entitlement on a monthly basis to both the development and deployment editions. Project Edition allows the organization the opportunity to determine which option is the better solution before making a decision regarding a perpetual license. The minimum entitlement purchase for Project Edition is 6 months. SPSS Statistics Deprecation SPSS Statistics V26 will be the final version to distribute media packs and is the final version to include desktop support for Linux(R). Key requirements SPSS Statistics V26 operates on a variety of platforms: • Linux • Mac OS • MicrosoftTM WindowsTM For details, see the Technical information section. ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio runs on IBM AIX(R), Linux, Apple macOS, and Microsoft Windows platforms. For details, see the Hardware requirements and Software requirements sections. Planned availability date • April 9, 2019: Electronic download • April 23, 2019: Media Packs Description SPSS Statistics V26 can help clients: • Analyze data with powerful new statistics: IBM United States Software Announcement 219-193 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 2 – Estimates the conditional median of the target (dependent) variable by using quantile regression. Essentially, quantile regression is an extension of linear regression and used when clients make no assumptions about the distribution of the residuals. Quantile regression helps them obtain a more comprehensive analysis of the relationship between variables. Also, it tends to resist the influence of outlying observations. – Helps users assess the accuracy of model predictions by plotting sensitivity versus (1-specificity) of a classification test by using ROC analysis . The area under the ROC curve or area under the curve (AUC), is a measure of the usefulness of a test in general, where a greater area means a more useful test. ROC curves are widely used in industries that research -- Psychology -- Medicine -- Biometrics -- Meteorology -- Model performance assessment -- Other areas • Extend analysis by using advancements to existing procedures and scripting commands – Bayesian Statistics is an alternative to standard statistical tests (for example, P-values). Bayesian statistics is becoming popular, because it circumvents the misunderstandings that are brought by standard statistics. Instead of using a p-value to reject or fail to reject a null hypothesis, Bayesian places an uncertainty on parameters and captures all relevant information from observed data. Bayesian Statistics was introduced with SPSS Statistics V25 and now there are new enhancements in this release. In just a few clicks, clients can run: -- One-way repeated measures ANOVA -- One sample Binomial -- One sample Poisson -- Loglinear models • Include enhancements to reliability analysis. – Reliability analysis within SPSS Statistics also provides Fleiss Multiple Rater Kappa statistics that assess the interrater agreement to determine the reliability among the various raters. A higher agreement provides more confidence in the ratings that reflect the true circumstance. • Exploit enhancements to MATRIX, Mixed Linear Models (MIXED), and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GENLINMIXED) commands – The MATRIX command includes new features: -- Long variable names (up to 64 bytes) can be used to name a matrix or vector name (such as, COMPUTE, CALL, PRINT, READ, WRITE, GET, SAVE, MGET, MSAVE, DISPLAY, RELEASE, and so on). -- Variable names that are included in a vector or matrix object are truncated to 8 bytes. This is because the matrix-vector structure is an array of numbers, and each number can match a string only up to 8 bytes. Long names (up to 64 bytes) are supported only when explicitly specified. -- Long variable names are supported in GET and SAVE commands when explicitly specified on the /VARIABLES subcommand (and when specified on the /STRINGS subcommand for the SAVE command). Variable names for GET and SAVE commands are truncated to 8 bytes when they are referenced through a vector in the /NAMES subcommand. -- The GET, SAVE, MGET, or MSAVE statements support both data set references and physical file specifications. -- MATRIX-END MATRIX now supports statistical functions that were previously only supported by the COMPUTE command (for example, IDF.CHISQ, CDF.NORMAL, NCDF.F, and so on). New Covariance Type structures ARH1 and CSH, Random effects are supported. IBM United States Software Announcement 219-193 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3 • Use enhanced new features for the Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GENLINMIXED) ) command that include: – New Covariance Type structures ARH1 & CSH, Random Effects. The CSH and ARH1 options are added to the /RANDOM subcommand (keyword COVARIANCE_TYPE). – New Covariance Type structures ARH1 & CSH, Repeated Effects. The CSH and ARH1 options are added to the /DATA_STRUCTURE subcommand (keyword COVARIANCE_TYPE). – Kenward - Roger Degree of Freedom method. The KENWARD_ROGER option is added to the /BUILD_OPTIONS subcommand (keyword DF_METHOD). – Kronecker Covariance types. The options UN_AR1, UN_CS, UN_UN are added to the /DATA_STRUCTURE subcommand (keyword COVARIANCE_TYPE). • Use enhanced new features for the Mixed Linear Models (MIXED) command that include: – DFMETHOD keyword introduced on the CRITERIA subcommand. – KRONECKER keyword added to the REPEATED subcommand. The keyword should be used only when COVTYPE is one of three following Kronecker types. – UN_AR1, UN_CS, and UN_UN options added to the COVTYPE keyword on the REPEATED subcommand. • Save time and effort with productivity enhancements. – SPSS Statistics production facility updates to reporting and batch job scheduling without SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services. SPSS Statistics server utilizes the following capabilities of SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services: -- Execute jobs. Production facility command line interface to submit job to SPSS Statistics server. -- Schedule jobs. Task scheduler (Windows) to submit production facility jobs. -- Conditionally execute jobs with INSERT EXEC command. -- Execute jobs to generate output with INSERT HIDDEN, a server-only feature. Enhancements in SPSS Amos V26, which will now allow clients to: – Automatically display the output on the path diagram – Specify a model without drawing a path diagram through syntax Accessibility by people with disabilities A US Section 508 Accessibility Compliance Report containing details on accessibility compliance can be found on the Product accessibility information website.
