Has anyone had experience with this new version, and if so are there any
special problems or bugs? hs ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

I've been using SPSS since 1972 and 19 since early this year. No bugs in
the bits I use (almost exclusively in syntax mode). It's prettier than 11, 15 and 18 which I had before. Can't speak for complex statistical procedures, only for file design and management, tabulation, basic stats and some graphics. I use it mostly for writing and testing tutorials on processing and analysing data from questionnaire surveys, and occasionally for secondary analysis of past surveys (eg Quality of Life in Britain, British Social Attitudes, European Social Survey) or for replicating and checking examples in SPSS textbooks I've reviewed (eg Pallant 2010, Babbie et al 2011). All tutorials, comments etc (and more) are on my website and everything is available for free download. Biggest bug was negotiating a new academic author licencing and registration agreement with IBM/SPSS, but that eventually got sorted. Biggest drag is having to update tutorials to take account of any changes, especially screenshots.

I agree with John about 19 being better than previous versions although I’ve only been using SPSS since 1975 ! I have been a beta tester for a number of years and can say that 19 was more robust and reliable than previous versions; it
was also faster. I have just finished testing 20 and that is better still; I’m really looking forward to using some of the new features for real.
Just make sure that you patch 19 to the latest version as it removes a couple of strange features Best Wishes John S. Lemon DIT ( Directorate of Information Technology ) -

Well, I think there's a bug in the GENLINMIXED procedure. I recently
attempted to employ a random effects binomial model with a logit link where the dependent variable was the number of events over the total number of trials. This was sparked from a recent discussion in the SPSS google newsgroup. Anyway, I simulated some data and tried to fit the model and kept getting an error message about the target variable not having a reference. When I removed the random effect component, the error message disappeared. Not sure what to make of it. Could be an error on my part since I rarely use GENLINMIXED, but it could also be a bug.
