Can IBM SPSS Statistics perform logistic regression using the method of fractional polynomials?

Troubleshooting


Problem

I'd like to fit binomial or multinomial logistic regression models using the method of fractional polynomials. Does IBM SPSS Statistics have a procedure that automates this process?

Resolving The Problem

No, IBM SPSS Statistics currently does not offer automatic fitting of models using fractional polynomials. You may want to consider the R package mfp, which may be accessed from within IBM SPSS Statistics via the R plug-in, available from developerWorks (https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/groups/service/html/communityview?communityUuid=ab16c38e-2f7b-4912-a47e-85682d124d32) or on your installation media
