Overview

IBM SPSS Statistics - Integration Plug-in for R provides the tools that are required to develop custom R scripts. Starting with IBM SPSS Statistics Subscription and version 25, the application provides the IBM SPSS Statistics R Configuration Extension to assist with the installation of IBM SPSS Statistics - Integration Plug-in for R.

Important:

  • Internet access is required for installing the IBM SPSS Statistics R Configuration Extension.
  • The IBM SPSS Statistics R Configuration Extension requires a compatible R version.
