Michelle,
Not to be snarky, but that's because native spss does not have monte carlo
simulation command or procedure like frequencies or crosstabs. That said,
you can certainly use spss to do monte carlo simulations. I know people will
respond with suggestions. I'd suggest the you search the spss list archives
which are at <http://listserv.uga.edu/archives/spssx-l.html>. You might also
look at the data management book that Ray <I've forgotten his last name>
wrote and published and is (or used to be) supplied on the spss distribution
cd. All that said, I'd bet that people also have written python
implementations of monte carlo.

confidence interval for completion rates?
I expect the answer is yes but I don't know what you mean by 'completion
rates'

Dear All
i can't seem to find Monte Carlo Simulation method in SPSS version 17 that
i am using now. Not sure is it because i am using the base module with no
advanced stats module as add on.
i wish to know how can i ue monte carlo simulation method to test
confidence interval for completion rates?
thanks in advance
