HLM 6 allows non-linear models with a variety of outcomes (dichotomous, counts, multinomial and ordinal).

However, with V 15.0 I believe the GEE option is equipped to handle such models.......dale

The MIXED procedure in SPSS can not handle binary outcomes. You would need to use different software such as HLM or MLwiN. SAS or R may be able to handle binary outcomes, as well, although I am not 100% sure they can.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find out if SPSS can analyze longitudinal binary data. We have two patient groups, and we are following them over 4 time points - and the physician seeing each subject codes whether or not they are symptomatic (yes or no) at each time point. I know I can't do repeated measures ANOVA on this because the data are binary. Would this work in mixed models in SPSS? I've tried clicking on mixed models, but I'm getting lost.

Any helpful hints greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
