Hi, Kevin.
From the main menu, go to Extensions > Extension Hub. Search for the R robust regression package. When you see this:
click the little "Get" checkbox on the right, and follow the dialogs from there. Accept the license and the extension will be installed. You will find it on the Analyze > Regression menu as Robust Regression.

Subject: Robust regression and Essentials plugin for v28
Hey everyone, new to SPSS and statistics (currently enrolled in a grad course getting an introduction). We're using Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS Statistics 5th North American edition as a text, and I'm trying to apply a robust linear regression in the Analyze --> Regression menu. His text talks about needing to have the Essentials for R plugin installed in order to see this option, and he goes through details of how to locate the right version and install it and R itself. However, I saw here that IBM says they already installed both Essentials for R plugin and R starting in version 28.0 (I am running that version - premium version), but I do not see "Robust regression" as an option in the menu.
Could anyone potentially guide me as to what I might need to do in order to run that option? Hope I have been clear enough, but can supply more info if needed.
Thanks!
