Two questions
1. How does one install
the R plugin for V17?
>>> Get the appropriate plugin
version from SPSS Developer Central (www.spss.com/devcentral)
via the plugins link in the lower left corner. For V17, you need
to install R 2.7 first and then install the plugin. For V18, you
can just install the R Essentials from Developer Central, and it will handle
everything.
2. Has anyone use
the R spatial modules with V17 or V18? If so have they done PCA using R
spatial?
>>> I don't know, but if you
know some R, you can write a small R program to run within SPSS to do that.
