Error in QUANTREG

[Peter Spangler]

Hey all,

I'm trying to run the R essentials included QuantReg to use medians for two variables with positively skewed populations. Error returned, however, I have installed the R essentials twice. What gives?

This error is returned:

SPSSINC QUANTREG DEPENDENT=GMV_365 

  ENTER=Transactions_365 QUANTILES = .5 

  /OPTIONS METHOD = PFN STDERR = RANK MISSING=LISTWISE EXECUTE=FALSE 

  /SAVE. 

Warning message: 

In readLines(file) : 

  incomplete final line found on 'C:/Users/pspangler1/AppData/Local/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21/extensions/SPSSINC_QUANTREG.R'

Some versions of R complain if the last line of the R source file doesn't have a terminating newline.  I don't get this message with Statistics 19 through 22, but it may be produced in some third-digit variation in the R version.  AFAIK this is harmless, but if you want to get rid of the message, open the file SPSSINC_QUANTREG.R in a plain text editor such as Notepad, go to the end of the last line and press Enter and save the file.

I have added a newline to our source, so the next time we update the posted version, this problem will go away.

Thank you, Jon. The error seems to prevent the loading of the file. I did reinstall the Essentials for v21.

Error: The R quantreg package is required but could not be loaded.
