Method: This lets you select how independent variables are entered into the analysis.  The "Enter" method enters all variables at the same time.  The other methods involve some sort of step-wise regression.

Statistics: To check for collinearity problems, we need to make sure that Estimates and Model fit are selected.  (These are usually selected by default.)  R-squared change is needed for variable selection methods. If you want to check for collinearity problems, you can select "Collinearity diagnostics".  You can make other selections, if needed.  

Plots:  You have the option of plotting the residuals.

Save:  You can save some of the results of the analysis, either to the data editor or to a new file.
