    Hello,

    I have a problem running PSM in spss 21, with r 2.14 on windows 8, 64bit.
    I read all the previous answers in the forum regarding this issue, and already installed an older version of CEM and all the needed stuff.
    I'm really desperate – I just spent the whole day uninstalling and installing packages from my computer. What I get now when I run PSM in spss is:
    PSMatching2: Missing values in id, treatment, covariates, or additional covariates.

    Any help will be very appreciated!

    Yael

      Hello Yael,
      this error message is somewhat encouraging, because it suggests that
      the PSMatching extension has most likely been properly installed
      (which is arguably the hardest step currently).
      Try to use our minimaltest.sav example and see if the PSMatching
      works. If it does, the problem lies with your particular dataset, most
      likely, because it contains missing data on some variables.
      Unfortunately, at this time, PSMatching requires complete data. If you
      have missing data you may either supply a listwise deleted file with
      no missingness anymore, or use multiple imputation to create a
      complete dataset and then supply ONE single imputation to PSMatching.

      Hope that helps,
      Felix

        Hi,

        Thanks for the quick help!
        I"ve tried your data and got the following error:
        Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) :
        there is no package called 'lattice'
        Installing package(s) into 'C:/Program Files/IBM/SPSS/Statistics/21/extensions'
        (as 'lib' is unspecified)

        I understood that the installation of R was problematic, so I uninstall it and uninstall the R plug in and then re-installed R and R plug in, and the error still occurs...

        What should I do?

        Thanks

      So this is asking for the lattice package to be installed in R. I am
      not sure why this would throw an error.
      One way that might fix it is to go directly into R and execute these
      two lines of code.

      install.packages("lattice")
      library(lattice)

      Other than that, I am not sure how to fix it based on the info that I
      have at hand.

        Hi Felix,

        All trials were failed so I installed spss 22 with R 2.15.2 on another machine, as I saw your advise in another case.
        After manually loading cem and other packages as required, I got an error saying nlme could not be loaded. But when trying to install it manually I got an error saying this package is not available for R 2.15.2!!

        I'm really desperate - I've been trying to run the PS matching for long time now, is there anything I can do to get this working??

        Any help is highly appreciated as I'm currently really don't know what to do and my research is stuck due to these problems...

        Yael

          Hi Yael,
          How about you contact me off-list via direct email and I can try to
          give you the pre-release which may help to fix the error that you are
          getting.
          Best,
          Felix
