The Software Store has upgraded Vanderbilt’s SPSS site license from Statistics Standard to Statistics Premium per request by SPSS users. Statistics Premium offers more advanced and comprehensive analytical capabilities. Statistics Standard includes SPSS Statistics Base, SPSS Advanced Statistics and SPSS Regression. Statistics Premium includes many more products:
  • IBM SPSS Statistics Base
  • IBM SPSS Advanced Statistics
  • IBM SPSS Regression
  • IBM SPSS Custom Tables
  • IBM SPSS Data Preparation
  • IBM SPSS Missing Values
  • IBM SPSS Forecasting
  • IBM SPSS Decision Trees
  • IBM SPSS Direct Marketing
  • IBM SPSS Complex Samples
  • IBM SPSS Conjoint
  • IBM SPSS Neural Networks
  • IBM SPSS Bootstrapping
  • IBM SPSS Categories
  • IBM SPSS Exact Tests
  • IBM SPSS Visualization Designer
  • IBM®SPSS SamplePower
Vanderbilt’s site license also includes SPSS Amos for Windows, a structural equation modeling program. The site license provides faculty with discounted pricing for using SPSS at home. It also enables faculty and researchers to use SPSS on Vanderbilt owned computers and in university-owned hospitals and medical facilities for teaching and non-commercial research. Without Vanderbilt’s site license, departments would spend $7,371 more per computer (i.e. $6,750 for SPSS Statistics Premium and $679 for Amos versus $58.50 for both products through the Software Store). Since departments buy SPSS for over 1,000 desktops each year, Vanderbilt saves over $7 million annually by participating in the site license.
