Why does "repeated measures" not appear under "analyze - glm" menu in SPSS?

This is my first time using SPSS for doing within-subjects ANOVA. Every tutorial I see tells me that I should go to analyze -> General Linear Model -> Repeated Measures.

The problem is that under "General Linear Model" the only command I see is "Univariate". Why can't I find "Repeated Measures"? I'm using SPSS 21.

As @ttnphns states, you need to obtain and install the Avanced Statistics add-on module. It includes a range of additional modelling tools like GLMs, mixed models, etc.

SPSS divides up its packages into Base and a range of add-on modules. The add-on modules are often automatically bundled in various packages. For example, a quick look at the gradpack shows a range of different versions some that come with the "advanced statistics" add-on and others that don't:

  • IBM SPSS Statistics Base GradPack offers beginners the most frequently used procedures for statistical analysis, and includes IBM SPSS Statistics Base, which provides the foundation for many types of analyses. [i.e., no advanced stats]
  • IBM SPSS Statistics Standard GradPack enables intermediate students to use more advanced analytical algorithms and techniques, and includes IBM SPSS Statistics Base, IBM SPSS Advanced Statistics, IBM SPSS Regression.
