The Advanced Models option includes procedures for:

* GLM—General linear models, which can accommodate analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), in both univariate and multivariate models. Repeated measures and doubly repeated measures models are also available.
* Linear mixed models.
* Variance components.
* Model selection loglinear analysis (hierarchical).
* General loglinear analysis.
* Logit loglinear analysis.
* Ordinal regression analysis.
* Survival analysis, including life tables, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and Cox regression.
