Re: SPSS Community News - Two New Extension Commands - STATS FIRTHLOG and STATS INEQUALITY

The first messages refer to SPSSINC BREUSCH PAGAN, not FIRTHLOG.  Older versions of R did not like a final line in the code without a carriage return.  I believe that was fixed some time ago in the BREUSCH PAGAN extension command, so you might want to download and install the current version from the SPSS Community website (In Statistics 22 packages can be installed from the Utilities menu).

However, both commands refer to a missing R package: car and logistf.  These packages would normally be installed when you install the extension command, so either you did not have an Internet connection at installation time, or the installer did not have permission to update the R library.  Try starting Statistics using Run As Administrator and repeating the bundle installs, and, of course, make sure that you have an Internet connection.

Thank you for the response. The information was helpful.

I've downloaded the R Package for SPSS Version 21, however Firthlogit is not
running properly. I get the following messages:

DATASET NAME DataSet1 WINDOW=FRONT.

Could you please provide me with guidance in order to get FirthLogit run
properly. Thank you.
