Sent: Sunday, June 07, 2009 5:43 PM Subject: Question about R an SPSS Dears Sirs: Venables, Smith and R-Development Core Team I am reading about the functional features of R statistical software, because I want to compare these progarm with the basic module of SPSS software. I would like to know if the R version 2.9.0 application is capable of read and procces entry files that were created in SPSS program version 17 or earliers. In adittion, If you have more information about the functional comparisons between R and SPSS software, please send to my email address I will be grateful for you response. Best regards.

There is a technical report on comparison of R and other statistical software (http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/technicalreports/Number1/R_relative_statpack.pdf). You can have an overall view from this document. You may have better chance to get answers if you specify what you want to do and if R can do it. Of course, R can read data of SPSS format by read.spss function in foreign package.

Rcmdr graphically allows you to import SPSS files, and also allows to run statistical analyses in a point-and-click fashion (*somewhat* in the style of SPSS). Read the help page of the function associated with SPSS import to see what versions of SPSS it supports (either `foreign; ?read.spss' or click `help' in the relevant menu in Rcmdr).
