Because of the brilliant structure R adopted for letting people write custom code/modules, R-CRAN has more functions and features than either PSPP or SPSS base.

If you are already a wizard with R-CRAN, and don't need to share files / code with SPSS users, you are better off ignoring this post. sav files, this program is worth checking out. :KS If you have to work with SPSS syntax or. In time this program will become _the_ tool to point new Linux users to when they need a statistics tool that comes with a GUI.Īs an added bonus some of you will be pleased to learn that the FSF have worked very hard to reproduce the delightful fortranesque world that is SPSS syntax.
