SPSSINC HETCOR in SPSS 24

[Kidiot18]

Hi!

I am using SPSS 24 and would like to run the heterogenous correlation module/SPSSINC HETCOR bundle, but it is not really working.
Before I installed the SPSSINC HETCOR bundle, I downloaded R version 3.2.0, which is required for the SPSS essentials for R plugin to work with SPSS 24. I assume the installation was successful, because when I run the code to check, it prints ‘ok’:

begin program.
import spss
print 'ok'
end program.
ok
begin program r.
print('ok')
end program.
[1] "ok"

However, when I try to run the heterogenous correlation it says <type 'exceptions.Exeptions'> and warns that the R package ‘polycor’ is required but could not be loaded.
‘Polycor’ only runs in 3.3.2 version of R. However, I cannot update R because then the SPSS essentials plugin is not working anymore as it needs to be installed in a directory of R version 3.2 (for SPSS 24). As far as I know there is no other plugin I could use.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to solve this problem – I would greatly appreciate any help!

Thank you very much!
Kim

polycor should have been installed with the HETCOR extension.  If it was not, due to lack of an Internet connection at install time or some other reason, you can install it by starting Rgui, which is part of the standard R installation, and using the Packages menu.

When you say that the R Essentials plugin is not working anymore, what happens when you try to use it, say like this?

begin program r.

print(sessionInfo())

end program.

Hi Jon,

Many thanks for your quick response!

(1) No matter how often I install and uninstall the programmes/bundles SPSS still tells me that the required polycor package could not be loaded when I use the SPSSINC HETCOR command.

(2) I cannot install polycor from the package menu because it is only available in R versions ≥ 3.3.0 (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/polycor/index.html)

(3) If I try to use R versions 3.3.0 or 3.3.2 I can no longer install the R plugin, because the R essentials plugin for SPSS 24 requires to be installed in a directory of R version 3.2. That was what I meant by saying the plugin is not working, it cannot be installed.

Neither can I find another plugin that allows using SPSS 24 and R 3.3 together, nor do I know how to install polycor in R version 3.2. I just can't figure out how to solve this. Maybe I am missing something... Do you have another idea?

Thank you!

[Jon Peck]

You have to use R3.2.x.  However, the polycor package is available for that release under Older Versions.  I will send this to you directly.  It is very unusal for an R package to have such a specific version dependency.

Thank you so much! Problem solved!

[MollyM]

Hi Jon,

I am having the exact same problem. Would you mind sending me the older version of the polycor package for SPSS v24?

Many thanks,

Molly

[Cgrant]

Hi Jon,

I also am experiencing the same problem using SPSSINC HETCOR. Are you able to send a link to the older polycor package to me please?

Thanks in advance
C

[dsfox]

Hi Jon
Please could you send me the polycor package compatible with SPSSv24?
Thanks, D.

You should be able to install this from the Extensions menu in V24.  You will need to install R and the R Essentials first if you haven't already done that.

Details on setting up the prerequisites are on the IBM SPSS Predictive Analytics site at

[flindall_jw]

Hi Jon,

I'm having the same problem as those above (HETCOR requires R3.2, polycor
requires R3.3, SPSS requires both to run polychoric correlations); I can't
find any reference to a polycor package in the Extension Hub in spss v24.
Could you please send me the polycor package that's compatible with spss v24
that has solved this problem for others?

Thank you,

- Jason

Please DON'T post the SAME thing 3 times in a few hours.  You were NOT
previously subscribed so it lingered until I had a chance to moderate the
group this morning.  Also post link to previous thread (in the main archive
it is not contextualized).

Good morning David.  Reading via Nabble, the context is apparent--it is this
thread:

http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/SPSSINC-HETCOR-in-SPSS-24-td5733783.html

It may be that members who are NOT reading via Nabble couldn't see the
context.  As I've mentioned to you in an off-list message, there appears to
be a bit of a problem with the connection between the Nabble archive and the
UGA mailing list proper at the moment.  E.g., in Nabble, I have seen several
threads recently where the first post I see is a reply to an original post
that did not appear.

Cheers,
Bruce
