Error with STATSFIRTH extension: error in dirname(fpath)

[kimwilliamsg]

Hello

I am running SPSS 19 on a mac. I have successfully installed the R Essentials integration package and the STATSFIRTH extension. However, when I attempt to run it I get the following error message

"Error in dirname(fpath) : a character vector argument expected"

I have installed the R packages that are also needed to run the command. Any thoughts on how to resolve?

Thanks!

This indicates that some required file or files are missing.  In particular, STATS_FIRTHLOG.R was not found on the search path for R extensions.  The first thing to check is whether this is true for all the R-based extensions.  Try Analyze > Regression > Residual Heteroscedasticity Test, for example.

You can run from a syntax window SHOW EXT to see where Statistics is looking for extension files.  Also run

begin program r.
print(.libPaths())
end program.

That will show the specific places where the code was looking for STATS_FIRTHLOG.R when the error occurred.  If it is not in any of those locations, then something failed in installing the package - perhaps a permissions issue.
