IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28
Menu: File→File Manager...
The Amos File Manager window displays a list of Amos Graphics path diagram files and other files that Amos creates. You can view the files or delete them. Files of the following types are displayed.
File name extension |
Description |
ami |
An Amos Text input file for Amos 3.6 . This file cannot be read by later versions of Amos. It is usually a straightforward task to manually translate an AMI file to a Visual Basic or C# program. |
amj |
An Amos 3.6 temporary file. Running Amos 3.6 with, say x.amw as input, creates x.amj. |
amd |
A data file in Amos 3.6 format. This file cannot be read by later versions of Amos. |
amp |
An output file that is used by Amos Graphics for displaying graphical output. This file can be re-created as long as the corresponding input (e.g., *.amw, *.AmosBasic, *.vb or *.cs) file and any required data files exist. |
amo |
A text output file created by Amos 4 and earlier versions of Amos. |
amw |
A path diagram file. Amos cannot re-create this file. |
AmosBasic |
An Amos Basic program used by Amos 4 and Amos 5. Amos cannot re-create this file. |
AmosOutput |
A text output file created by Amos 5 and later versions. This file can be re-created as long as the corresponding input (*.amw or *.AmosBasic) file and any required data files exist. |
AmosP |
A file that contains the "Function of log likelihood" statistics for the saturated and independence models, calculated from selected cases and selected variables within a single data set. Amos Graphics can re-create this file when the "Function of log likelihood" statistics are required. |
AmosRecode |
A file that contains the data recoding rules that you specify in the Data Recode window. The name of an AmosRecode file is assigned automatically by Amos, and is derived from the name of the raw data file that the data recoding rules apply to. For example, the data recoding rules for the data file abc.sav would be in a file called abc_sav.AmosRecode. If you move a raw data file from one directory to another, you should move its AmosRecode file along with it. For example, if you move abc.sav, you should move abc_sav.AmosRecode at the same time so that the two files end up together in the same directory. |
AmosTN |
A thumbnail image that appeared in the View Path Diagrams window in versions of Amos prior to Amos 18. For example, X.AmosTN contained a thumbnail image of the path diagram in the first group of X.amw. Amos 18 and subsequent versions of Amos do not create or use AmosTN files. |
AmosMatrices |
The matrix representation for a path diagram. For example, X.AmosMatrices contains the matrix representation for X.AMW. Amos cannot re-create this file. Not used by Amos 21 and later. |
