What's new in versions 28 and 28.0.1 Last Updated: 2021-11-09
IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0.1 Analyze procedures
Kernel Ridge Regression The new extension-based procedure uses the Python sklearn.kernel_ridge.KernelRidge class to estimate a kernel ridge regression of a dependent variable on one or more independent variables. The independent variables include model hyperparameters, or a selection of hyperparameter values, over a specified grid of values. Cross validation is achieved by using the sklearn.model_selection.GridSearchCV class.
Linear Mixed Models A new output table for the procedure provides the marginal and conditional pseudo-R2 measures. The table displays only in instances where appropriate.
Power Analysis procedures The new precision feature computes the sample sizes that are required to estimate the population parameter with precision that is determined by user-specified confidence interval half-widths. The expected result produces the minimum sample size to ensure that the actual confidence interval half-widths do not exceed the desired values.
Effect size as an input to the estimation of the power or sample size is now supported. The defined effect size value is passed to the intermediate step in the
Note: The new feature is available for all Power Analysis procedures except Univariate Linear Regression.

procedure and calculates the desired power or sample size. The following Power Analysis procedures support effect size as an input to the estimation of the power or sample:
Command syntax
OUTPUT CREATE The new command provides options for creating custom tables, charts, and other output items from user-entered JSON or from an external *.json file. For more information, see OUTPUT CREATE.
POWER ONEWAY ANOVA The CONTRAST subcommand's new HALFWIDTH keyword estimates the sample size based on specified confidence interval half-widths. For more information, see CONTRAST Subcommand (POWER ONEWAY ANOVA command). The PARAMETERS subcommand's new ES and keyword specifies the effect size of the overall test, which is measured by either f or η2. For more information, see PARAMETERS Subcommand (POWER ONEWAY ANOVA command). The PLOT subcommand's new ES, ES_YAXIS, and ES_XAXIS keywords control the two-dimensional power by effect size chart, the three-dimensional power by total sample size (x-axis) and effect size (y-axis) chart, and the three-dimensional power by total sample size (y-axis) and effect size (x-axis) chart. For more information, see PLOT Subcommand (POWER ONEWAY ANOVA command).
POWER MEANS INDEPENDENT The new PRECISION subcommand estimates the sample size based on specified confidence interval half-widths. For more information, see PRECISION Subcommand (POWER MEANS INDEPENDENT command). The PARAMETERS subcommand's new ES keyword specifies the effect size as an input to the estimation of the power or sample size. When the two independent groups for comparison are assumed to have unequal variances, the effect size of the independent-sample analysis is measured by the mean difference. For more information, see PARAMETERS Subcommand (POWER MEANS INDEPENDENT command).

Pivot table enhancements Most tables contain a mix of values, and applying a heat map to an entire table typically produces tables with wildly varying ranges.

For more information, see Color scales.
Workbook mode enhancements

Analyze procedures
Meta Analysis Meta analysis is the analysis of the data obtained from a collection of studies that answer similar research questions. These studies are known as primary studies. Meta analysis uses statistical methods to produce an overall estimate of an effect, explore between-study heterogeneity, and investigate the impact of publication bias or, more generally, small-study effects on the final results. The following Meta Analysis procedures are new in version 28.
Meta Analysis Continuous Performs meta-analysis with continuous outcomes on raw data that are provided in the active dataset for the estimation of the effect size.
Meta Analysis Continuous Effect Size Performs meta-analysis with continuous outcomes when the pre-calculated effect size data are provided in the active data set.
Meta Analysis Binary Performs meta-analysis with binary outcomes on raw data that are provided in the active dataset for the estimation of the effect size.
Meta Analysis Binary Effect Size Performs meta-analysis with binary outcomes when the pre-calculated effect size data are provided in the active data set.
Meta Analysis Regression Performs meta-analysis regression.
General Linear Model (GLM) procedures The General Linear Model (GLM) procedure user interfaces now provide a Compare simple main effects setting on their EM Means dialogs. The setting is enabled whenever the target list contains one or more product or interaction effects (for example, A*B, A*B*C). The setting supports the specification of comparisons among simple main effects, which are main effects nested within the levels of other factors.
One-Way ANOVA The procedure now supports non-numeric categorical variables.
Power Analysis The new Grid Values dialog provides options for specifying a range of POWER values for the purpose of viewing projected sample sizes in a grid format for every

specified POWER range value. The Grid Values dialog is available for every Power Analysis procedure when the Estimate sample size and Grid power values options are selected (click the Grid control to display the dialog).
Ratio Statistics
Price-Related Bias (PRB) The procedure now supports the Price-Related Bias (PRB) dispersion method. PRB is an index of whether assessment to price ratios are systematically higher or lower for higher-priced properties. PRB regresses percentage differences in assessment ratios. The differences are drawn from the median ratio on the base 2 logarithms of value proxy measures. The proxy measures are calculated as the "averages of sales prices" and the "ratios of assessed values to the median ratio". The method also gives the percentage change in assessment ratios for a 100 percent change in value.
Coefficient of Variation (COV) The new COV dispersion method includes the median and mean-centered coefficients of variation and effectively replaces the Median Centered COV and Mean Centered COV dispersion methods. The median-centered coefficient of variation is the result of expressing the root mean squares of deviation from the median as a percentage of the median. The mean-centered coefficient of variation is the result of expressing the standard deviation as a percentage of the mean.

RATIO STATISTICS
For more information, see RATIO STATISTICS.
Relationship Maps Relationship maps are useful for determining how variables relate to each other by providing a visual representation of the connections and influences that each node and link has over each other. Relationship maps visually represent connections and influences through nodes and links. Nodes represent variables and variable categories; links represent the strength of influence between nodes. Larger nodes and thicker link lines represent stronger connections and influence. Smaller nodes and thinner link lines represent weaker connections and influence. The Relationship maps feature is accessed through Graphs > Relationship Map...
R and Essentials for R R 4.0.x and IBM SPSS Statistics Essentials for R are now installed with IBM SPSS Statistics. The R environment settings are defined in Edit > Options... > File Locations > R Location.
