IBM SPSS AMOS is data modeling software used to analyze relationships between hypothesized variables, build multivariate models, and create complex data relationships.
Administrative use of SPSS Amos is any use of the program other than for teaching and non-commercial academic research. Non-commercial academic research is defined by IBM as "any research by degree seeking students and faculty where the results of such research are not intended for the benefit of a third party; such results are made available to anyone without restriction on use, copying, or distribution; and results are furnished at no cost beyond hosting, reproduction, and shipping."
