EA set of working examples of R applications for SPSS Statistics
Install the IBM SPSS Statistics application
IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for R is designed for the following applications:
IBM SPSS Statistics for Mac OS
There are no additional operating system and hardware requirements. The components installed
with Essentials for R work with any valid IBM® SPSS® Statistics license.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions provided with the software to install one
of the SPSS Statistics applications on the computer where you will install Essentials for R.
Download and install R 2.14
Version 21 of IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for R requires R version 2.14 (version
2.14.2 is recommended). Install R on the computer where you will install Essentials for
R. It is available from http://www.r-project.org/. You can also download it directly from
ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/CRAN/bin/macosx/leopard/base/.
Download and install IBM SPSS Statistics - Essentials for R
Be sure to use a version of IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for R that is compatible with the
version of IBM® SPSS® Statistics on your machine. Within a major version of SPSS Statistics,
such as 21, you must use a version of Essentials for R that has the same major version. It is not
necessary to uninstall earlier versions of Essentials for R before installing a newer version.
For users who are working in distributed mode (with SPSS Statistics Server) please install
Essentials for R on both the client and server machines.
EDownload version 21 of Essentials for R, available from the SPSS community at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral.
EMount the installer disk image by double-clicking the file that you downloaded.

IBM SPSS Statistics - Essentials for R: Installation Instructions for Mac OS
EIn the mounted disk image, double-click SPSSStatisticsEssentialsForR_21000_Mac,and
then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. When prompted for the location
of SPSS Statistics, note that the default location is /Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21.
When prompted for the location of R, be aware that this is the location where R 2.14 is
installed. If R 2.14 is the current R version on your machine then the location can be
specified as /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources. Otherwise, specify the location as
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources.
Silent installation
As an alternative to the manual installation described above you can also run a silent installation.
This is most useful for network administrators who need to install to multiple end users. To run a
silent installation, do the following:
EIf you haven’t already done so, then mount the installer disk image by double-clicking the file
that you downloaded.
ECopy SPSSStatisticsEssentialsForR_21000_Mac.bin from the disk image to a different
location—for example, to the desktop.
EStart a terminal application.
EChange to the directory where you copied SPSSStatisticsEssentialsForR_21000_Mac.bin.
EUsing a text editor, create a response file named installer.properties.
EAdd the following properties and associated values to the response file:
INSTALLER_UI=silent
USER_SPSS_HOME=<IBM SPSS Statistics location>
USER_R_HOME=<R 2.14 home directory>
where <IBM SPSS Statistics location> is the installation location of IBM SPSS Statistics and <R
2.14 home directory> is the installation location of R 2.14. For example:
USER_SPSS_HOME=/Applications/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21
USER_R_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources
ESave installer.properties to the directory containing the .bin file for Essentials for R and change
to that directory.
ERun the installer with the following command:
./<installer_name>
where <installer_name> is the name of the .bin file for Essentials for R. Note:Youmustrunthe
previous command as root, either by logging in as root or using the sudo command.
As part of the installation, any R packages required by the R examples will be automatically
downloaded over the Internet if possible. This may take a few minutes.

Note: To use a different response file (other than installer.properties), run the installer with the
following command:
./<installer_name> -f <response file name>
Before you start using the IBM SPSS Statistics - Integration Plug-in
for R
After you install IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for R, you will be able to start developing R
applications with the IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Integration Plug-in for R. Complete documentation
for the plug-in is available from the topic “Integration Plug-in for R” in the IBM® SPSS®
Statistics Help system. It is also available in PDF form by choosing Programmability > R Plug-in
from the SPSS Statistics Help menu. You may also want to go through the tutorials available
from Help>Working with R.
Accessing the R examples
IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for R includes a set of working examples of custom R
procedures for IBM® SPSS® Statistics. All examples include custom dialogs and all but one
(Rboxplot) also include an extension command. Following are the menu locations of the custom
dialogs for the R examples:
Analyze>Correlate>Heterogeneous Correlations
Analyze>Loglinear>Latent Class Analysis
Analyze>Regression>Quantile Regression
Analyze>Regression>Regression Relative Importance
Analyze>Regression>Residual Heteroscedasticity Test
Analyze>Regression>Robust Regression
Analyze>Regression>Tobit Regression
Analyze>Scale>Rasch Model
Graphs>R Boxplot
The Heterogeneous Correlations example requires both the IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Integration
Plug-in for R and the IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Integration Plug-in for Python. The Integration
Plug-in for Python is included with IBM® SPSS® Statistics - Essentials for Python, available
from the SPSS community at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral.
If one of the Analyze menu items is not present in your SPSS Statistics product, then please
look on the Custom menu for the Analyze menu dialogs—for example, Custom>Heterogeneous
Correlations.
The implementation code and XML specification files for extension commands
associated with the custom dialogs can be found in the /Library/Application
Support/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21/extensions directory. The following files are installed:
Heterogeneous Correlations. SPSSINC_HETCOR.py and SPSSINC_HETCOR.xml
Quantile Regression. SPSSINC_QUANTREG.R and SPSSINC_QUANTREG.xml

IBM SPSS Statistics - Essentials for R: Installation Instructions for Mac OS
Residual Heteroscedasticity Test. SPSSINC_BREUSCH_PAGAN.R and
SPSSINC_BREUSCH_PAGAN.xml
Robust Regression. SPSSINC_ROBUST_REGR.R and SPSSINC_ROBUST_REGR.xml
Tobit Regression. SPSSINC_TOBIT_REGR.R and SPSSINC_TOBIT_REGR.xml
Rasch Model. SPSSINC_RASCH.R and SPSSINC_RASCH.xml
Latent Class Analysis. STATS_LATENT_CLASS.R and STATS_LATENT_CLASS.xml.
Regression Relative Importance. STATS_RELIMP.R and STATS_RELIMP.xml.
Notes
Help for each of the procedures accessible from the menus is available from the Help button
on the associated dialog box. The help is not, however, integrated with the SPSS Statistics
Help system.
Complete syntax help for each of the extension commands associated with the custom dialogs
is available by executing the command and including the /HELP subcommand. The command
name is the name of the associated implementation file without underscores—for example:
SPSSINC HETCOR /HELP.
The command syntax help is not, however, integrated with the SPSS Statistics Help system
and is not included in the Command Syntax Reference.
The dialogs were created with the Custom Dialog Builder in SPSS Statistics. You can view
the design for any of the dialogs and/or customize them using the Custom Dialog Builder,
available from Utilities>Custom Dialogs>Custom Dialog Builder. To view the design for a
dialog, choose File>Open Installed from within the Custom Dialog Builder.
If you have specified alternate locations for extension commands with the
SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH environment variable then the implementation and specification
files will be located in the first writable location in that variable instead of in the extensions
directory.
You may need to set your SPSS Statistics locale to match the SPSS Statistics output language
(OLANG) in order to display extended characters properly, even when working in Unicode
mode. For example, if the output language isJapanesethenyoumayneedtosetyourSPSS
Statistics locale to Japanese, as in SET LOCALE='japanese'.
Other extension commands that are not included in Essentials for R are available for download
from the SPSS community.
Uninstalling IBM SPSS Statistics - Essentials for R components
EBrowse to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library and remove the
spss210 folder.
