Create a customized, unique statistical workbench in the IBM SPSS Statistics environment

With IBM SPSS Statistics Developer, R algorithms can be easily "wrapped" in IBM SPSS Statistics syntax so that they take on the appearance of standard IBM SPSS Statistics procedures, which can easily be invoked through an interface that is indistinguishable from IBM SPSS Statistics' built-in dialogs. The Custom Dialog Builder allows complete integration of the new functionality into the GUI. IBM SPSS Statistics Developer users can then share their custom functionality and procedures with users of any IBM SPSS Statistics module.

  • Access to thousands of advanced R algorithms and packages
  • Easy to install, easy to use
  • Use all IBM SPSS Statistics' data handling functions, and work with large datasets
  • Efficient production of more graphs and other forms of output
  • Simple and easy to learn how to wrap R packages and algorithms
  • Easy to distribute to a wide range of users via Web download or e-mail

IBM SPSS Statistics Developer helps users integrate the power of R and Python into a powerful workbench that provides users with all of the core functionality of IBM SPSS Statistics modules, except for the statistical algorithms. The product acts as the perfect workbench in which the power of R and Python can be leveraged and then deployed to a wider audience of users with any other IBM SPSS Statistics module such as IBM SPSS Statistics Base, IBM SPSS Advanced Statistics, IBM SPSS Regression, etc. The programmability extension and custom dialog builder that make all of this possible in IBM SPSS Statistics Developer are also available in any of the IBM SPSS Statistics modules, allowing advanced users to build and deploy custom features from there, if they choose to do so.

IBM SPSS Developer is available in English, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Polish, Korean, and Russian. Contact your local office to find out more.
