Gain additional functionality by using optional add-on modules. For example, SPSS Advanced Models™ and SPSS Regression Models™ provide powerful statistics for more in-depth statistical analysis. Use SPSS Missing Value Analysis™ to help you estimate missing data to build more accurate models. Choose the modules you need, and seamlessly incorporate them into the base software.
SPSS 16.0 introduces a new add-on module—SPSS Neural Networks™. This module enables you to “mine” data and discover complex connections, using either a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) or Radial Basis Function (RBF) algorithm. This module provides a complementary approach to the statistical techniques available in SPSS Base and its modules.
