SPSS Programmability Extension

[Marcos Sanches]

Hi List,

I am planning to acquire the new version of SPSS and I am currently selecting the modules I will need. 

On SPSS website

http://www.spss.com/software/statistics/modules/

I found that one of the modules offered is the "IBM® SPSS® Statistics Programmability Extension". I did not understand how this work.

I most definitely want to have access to python language and integration with R, but is that something I need to purchase separately? I thought it was part of SPSS 19 and I did not need to worry about it....

I have SPSS12 and I am only familiar with the usual syntax and macros... I would be most grateful if somebody could quickly clarify how this new programming capabilities works...

Thanks a lot 

Marcos

The Python, R, and .NET programmability extensions (plugins) are separately downloadable from SPSS Developer Central (www.spss.com/devcentral) but they are free.  No purchase is required.

Hi Marcos,

 

Programmability was added in (I think) SPSS v14.01. You cannot install the plugin with your version 12.

 

Alas!
 

Cheers!!
