Recurring problem to run R with SPSS 24

Dear all, 

my last post about the non-compatibility of R essentials with SPSS 24 could not be resolved and an employee of IBM suggested to install spss 22 which runs with R 2.15.  I purchased this ?older licence? today. 

So far so good, but already the installation of the required R 2.15.(2) does not work because apparently the installer does not recognise Sierra 10.12.2 as a newer built than OS X 10.  Any suggestions? Google search yields solutions that involve programming to my understanding which I am not capable of.


I am very frustrated right now because I feel simply cheated by IBM. Did anyone experience the same issue?

I did all installations exactly as suggested by the IBM manuals and simply want to run a Tobit-Regression.

Thank you for every input.

Best, 

Andreas

I would be surprised if anyone on this mailing list runs R analyses through SPSS. What SPSS and SAS have done is to say, well people want to do analyses that are available in R that we can?t be bothered implementing, so we will give them an interface, and it seems not a very good one.

It should not take long to learn how to read in the data in R, produce the analysis and output the results. Try this http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/dae/tobit.htm
