Dear all,
I am trying to conduct an enhanced version of factor analysis with a
SPSS interface that allows to use R. This approach has been suggested in
the recent article:
Basto, M. and J.M. Pereira An SPSS R-Menu for Ordinal Factor Analysis.
Journal of Statistical Software 46, pp. 1-29.
My variables are ordinal-type and the tool of Basto allows to run
polychoric correlations in the SPSS environment with the R essentials
ans Plugin.
I used R 2.10 version for spss 20 (I only have access to spss 20). I
loaded the required packages. When running the factor analysis in spss
with the plugin I receive the error message posted below. Aparently, the
tool of Basto runs only with spss 19. Since the packages and the plugin
are installed I think it must be a problem of the spss version.
Could someone suggest me a solution for the problem? I am not familiar
with R, and so I would prefer to run the factor analysis in spss. Is
there any possebility to run it with spss V. 20?
I think you will need to ask this question in an SPSS help forum:
- Version 2.10.x of R is quite old, and is no longer supported.
- The error message is coming from SPSS, not R
