New and Changed Features in IBM SPSS Modeler 15
From this release onwards, IBM® SPSS® Modeler has the following editions.
IBM® SPSS® Modeler Professional
is the new name for the existing SPSS Modeler product.
IBM® SPSS® Modeler Premium
is a separately-licensed product that provides additional
features to those supplied by SPSS Modeler Professional.
The new features for these editions are described in the following sections.
New features in IBM SPSS Modeler Professional
The IBM® 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 models for non-normal longitudinal data. For more information, see the topic

linear mixed models cover a wide variety of models, from simple linear regression to complex
multilevel models for non-normal longitudinal data. For more information, see the topic
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 given different colors
or patterns to indicate different values) and point overlay maps (where geospatial points are
overlaid on the map).
or patterns to indicate different values) and point overlay maps (where geospatial points are
overlaid on the map).
IBM® SPSS® Modeler ships with several map files, but you can use the Map Conversion Utility
to convert your existing map shapefiles for use with the Graphboard Template Chooser.

Netezza Time Series and Generalized Linear nodes.
Two new nodes are available for IBM®
Netezza® Analytics in-database mining: Time Series and Generalized Linear. For more
information, see the topic

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 up or down
from the standard size. This feature is particularly useful for gaining an overall view of a complex
stream, or for minimizing the number of pages needed to print a stream. For more information,
see the topic
