Eric, in SPSS 15 negative binomial regression can be conducted in the new Generalized Linear Models procedure for non-negative integer outcomes.  To see what else is in SPSS 15, see http://www.spss.com/spss/whats_new_modules.htm and http://www.spss.com/spss/whats_new_modules.htm.

Subject: Negative binomial regression

Dear all

I wish to perform a negative binomial regression.
Dependent variable is a rate, with variance strongly superior to the mean.
Independent variables are both categorical and quantitative (continuous).
Any suggestion to get a syntax and/or macro?
Many thanks in advance
Eric
