Dear SPSS Users,
One of the most frustrating parts of learning R is that you have reasonable expectations about how it should work, but R's whole perspective is different. I provide a number of examples of these differences in "Why R is Hard to Learn":
http://r4stats.com/2012/06/13/why-r-is-hard-to-learn/R's standard output also looks quite different from SPSS's, but there are add-on packages that present the results in a form you're more used to.
If you're using R to augment your work in SPSS or considering switching from SPSS to R, my workshop can help minimize your headaches by pointing out the commands and options that confuse SPSS users the most. A complete list of workshop topics is here:
