New Resource for Using R with SPSS

[Rob Kabacoff]

Hi Folks,


Verson 16 of SPSS will allow users to run R code. R is a free and comprehensive statistical and graphical programming language. It provides a wide range of  procedures that can enhance and extend SPSS's capabilities.

I have created a website specifically designed to help SPSS users get up to speed with R quickly. The site includes over 70 R tutorials on a wide range of subjects.

The URL is http://www.statmethods.net

Topics are organized around these headings:
* The R Interface
* Data Input
* Data Management
* Basic Statistics
* Advanced Statistics
* Basic Graphs
* Advanced Graphs


I hope that you find this useful. Please feel free to link to the site.

Feedback is always welcome.

Sincerely,

Rob Kabacoff, Ph.D.

That sounds good however I just loaded rel 16 on yesterday and found so
many bugs that I had to go back to rel 15.  I can't believe they
released it with so many things not working.  I have a call into them to
discuss the problems but I have not heard from them yet.  So beware!

Barbara,

Please let us know what 'bugs' you mean.  I have 16 ready to install,
but want to know if I should wait for the patch before installing.

Dear Barbara,

I can't tell if your complaint is with SPSS 16 or with using R with SPSS.

I have been an SPSS programmer for 25 years, but have nothing to do with either SPSS, Inc. or the R project.

I am just trying to introduce R to the SPSS audience because I think that it help us do better analyses.

Let me know if I can help.

Sincerely,

Rob

Hello again,

I'm sorry for the confusion; my complaint is with SPSS 16 not R.
