SPSS Community News

[Jon K Peck]

A new extension command, STATS GET R, has been uploaded to the SPSS Community website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection.  This command can extract a Statistics dataset from a data frame or set of compatible variables in an R workspace or dataset .  It can also display workspace contents, and it can create a table showing all the datasets packaged with installed R packages.  (In my case that is 1147 datasets!).

This command requires the R Essentials also available via the Community website.  Users of Statistics version 22 can install this command from the Utilities menu.  Users of earlier versions would download this from the website and install it.

It's great to have these notices posted on the list.

Would it be at all workable to have the subject line something like

"SPSS Community News: STATS GET R"?

These are of ongoing relevance, but it's hard to find a command, or
see what commands might be of interest, when the subject lines are
all the same.

Nice, I have always found fetching data from R a bit cumbersome, ie. setting all *five* metadata aspects (why not only variable name and type) for each variable with SetDictionaryToSPSS, and all the code that comes with it.

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a

fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
