SPSS Community News - New Extension Command STATS PADJUST for FDR and FWER

[Jon K Peck]

A new extension command, STATS PADJUST, has been uploaded to the SPSS Community website.  The command adjusts p values from multiple testing to control the family-wise error rate or the false discovery rate.  The methods provided are Benjamini-Hochberg, Holm, Hommel, Hochberg, Benjamini-Yekutieli, and Bonferroni.  The input can come from the active dataset or be entered via the command syntax.

This command requires the R Essentials and at least version 18 of Statistics.  It can be downloaded from within Statistics using the Utilities menu in version 22. Older versions can download it from the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection.

I installed the extension and tried to run it, but received the following error message.
I am wondering if someone happens to know why this happens and how I can solve it.
Thank you advance for your help.

>Error # 1. Command name: STATS
>The first word in the line is not recognized as an SPSS Statistics command.
>Execution of this command stops.

That message means that the syntax definition for STATS PADJUST was not installed or was installed incorrectly.  With older versions of Statistics, restarting it after the installation was necessary in order for the command to be recognized, but that is no longer the case.

Perhaps an OS file permissions problem caused the install to fail.  Try starting Statistics using Run As Administrator (on Windows or equivalent on Mac) and doing the install again.

You can see the locations where extensions can be installed by running SHOW EXT.  You should find the STATS_PADJUST.xml file in one of those locations.

I restarted SPSS as mine is still V22, and the extension worked just fine after restarting it.
I'm glad that it was that simple.

Thank you so much for your help!!
