Forecast Modeling using R model node in SPSS Modeler

Hello everyone,

I have been trying really hard to use the SPSS Modeler?s R modeling node to
generate forecasts without success. I personally think the R integration in
SPSS Modeler is kind of poor, since you are only allowed to work with R
version 2.15.2.

Is there anyone who has worked time series and forecasting models using the
R nodes from SPSS Modeler? Is there any document or any guide that you guys
could provide me with?

Best regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I suggest forgetting about SPSS and using R directly. Getting started
with R is easier than ever thanks to the growing number of tutorials,
workshops, mailing lists and forums.

Best,
Ista

Hi Ista,

Your suggestion is great. There is no better way to work with R than
working with R directly, however, I have been asked to generate forecasts
in SPSS Modeler using the R integration that comes with it, so
unfortunately, I need to find a way around. If I find the way to do it, I
will make sure I share it with the rest of the R user community.

Anyway, thank you for your quick and kind reply,

Best of regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Not everything people ask for makes sense. If you insist on trying to get R
integration working in SPSS you should reach out to the SPSS company and/or
community for support.

Best,
Ista
