IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

New features

1.You can perform D-separation analyses.

2.You can read R data files (*.rds and *.RData files) if R is installed on your computer.

3.You can execute Amos from within an R program. (This is similar to the ability to execute Amos from the IBM SPSS Statistics main menu.)

4.You can click File > File Explorer to show the current path diagram (*.amw) file in Windows File Explorer.

5.Each user gets a separate copy of the example files. A copy of the example files from the User's Guide is placed in each user's Application Data folder. For a user named jim using Amos 25, this folder is located at C:\Users\jim\AppData\Local\AmosDevelopment\Amos\25\Examples.

6.Environment variables help you locate important Amos folders.

7.The list of variables displayed by View > Variables in Dataset now shows additional information about each variable, and allows sorting by variable name and variable label.

8.IBM SPSS Statistics data files (.sav files) can now be viewed in Amos's View Data window even if Statistics is not installed.

Other changes

1.Support has been discontinued for Lotus data files and for Excel 3 and Excel 4 data files.
