new to R

[Min Chen]

Hey, all, 

I get used to AMOS and SPSS, but now I am using R to my papers. I just wondering, when you all doing data processing, e.g. outliers(uni/multivariate), unengaged responses, etc, do you stay in R to do it all your analysis, or you all used to using SPSS first and then use R software to do for other analysis? 

I just so stuck in the universe of AMOS and SPSS, I am a little helpless. Although I have learned how to use R to do . It would be glad that you could give some advises for new beginners. 

all you all the best to Sundays, and

much thanks in advance,

Min

R all the way. :) 

One advantage of using R all the way is that you can have one workflow, you read in your data, clean / manipulate, and analyze in one script.  That way you have one script that you can run that will do your analysis - you don't lose track of which prep script goes with which Amos file. You can even write the whole paper using RMarkdown - if you find an error in the raw data, you just fix it and then hit run and your paper is rewritten.

It's a bit of a hump to get over - you will spend a little while being frustrated, and using your favorite search engine to find how to do things, but once you have got over that hump the advantages  easily outweigh the disadvantages  (IMHO).

 I don't have access to (or need) SPSS (or SAS, or Stata ...).

I uninstalled SPSS statistics and Amos years ago for the same reasons. I don't know of any SPSS feature worth mentioning that is not available for R.

Best
