New features in IBM SPSS Modeler Professional
The I BM® SPSS® Modeler Professional edition adds the following features in this release.
GLMM modeling node.
Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) extend the linear model so
that: the target is linearly related to the factors and covariates via a specified link function; the
target can have a non-normal distribution; and the observations can be correlated. Generalized
linear mixed models cover a wide variety of models, from simple linear regression to complex
multilevel mode ls for non-normal longitudinal data. For more information, see the topic New
Nodes in This R elease on p. 10.
Support for maps in the Graphboard node.
The Graphboard node now includes support for a large
number of map types. These include choropleths (where regions can be give n different colors
or patterns to indicate different values) and point overlay map s (where geospatial points are
overlaid on the map).
IBM® SPSS® Modeler ships with several map files, but you can use the Map Conve r sion Utility
to convert your exis ting map shapefiles for use with the Graphboard Template Chooser.
Netezza Time Series and Generalized Linear nodes.
Tw o new nodes are available for IBM®
Netezza® Analytics in-database mining: Time Series and Generalized Linear. For more
informa tion, see the topic New Nodes in This Release on p. 10.
Netezza nodes enabled through Helper Applications.
The Netezza Analytics database modeling
nodes are now enabled in the same way as the other database modeling nodes.
Zooming in and out on the stream view.
It is now possible to scale the entire stream view u p or down
from the standard size. This feature is particularly useful for gaining an overall view of a co mplex
stream, or for minimizing the number of pages needed to print a stream. For more information,
see the topic Changing the icon size for a stream in Ch apter 3 on p. 24.
