SPSS Statistics Programmability Extension

Give yourself greater flexibility by extending IBM® SPSS® Statistics command syntax language by using external programming languages.

Developers and end users can extend the command syntax language, introduce additional statistical functionality and access the IBM® SPSS® Statistics engine from external applications through the IBM® SPSS® Statistics Programmability Extension.

• Expand IBM SPSS Statistics capabilities through programmability
  With the IBM SPSS Statistics Programmability Extension, which is included with IBM SPSS Statistics Base and any of its integrated modules, you can add new computations and procedures written in your external programming languages such as Python®, R and the .NET version of Microsoft® Visual Basic®.
  This enables your organization to:

• Extend IBM SPSS Statistics functionality. Add computations and procedures written in other programming languages.

• Write generalized and more flexible jobs. Create generalized jobs by controlling logic based on the Variable Dictionary, procedure output (XML or datasets), case data and environment. Reusable code means data is not tied to a single program.

• Handle errors with generated exceptions and easily determine the effectiveness of long syntax jobs

• Utilize hundreds of standard modules for Python

• React to results and metadata

• Build IBM SPSS Statistics functionality into other applications

• Operating systems supported: Windows, Mac, Linux
