Help for a Really Stupid Question

[Mike]

Okay, I have been putting off learning R for various reasons but

now I have a really stupid question:

 

How do I import an R data file *.rda into SPSS?

 

I have tried to locate info on the web but I can't seem to find

anything that is relatively simple and direct (and doesn't involve

Modeler).

 

So, can someone help a brother out? TIA.

Statistics does not have a native R reader, but you can use the STATS GET R extension command.  Since R workspaces can have a lot of things that don't map to SPSS datasets, you usually start by running this to find out what R data frames or other series that could be made into a data frame are present.  Then run it again and specify the objects you want.

Once you have installed this extension, which of course requires R and the R Essentials, it will appear on the File menu.

File has been read with STATS GET R without trouble.

Michael, another possibility is to solve the task from within R. This writes the data into a text file and the SPSS syntax job into an sps file:

library(foreign)
write.foreign(mydata, "c:/mydata.txt", "c:/mydata.sps",   package="SPSS")

Good luck!
