Hey, can someone please help me with this issue. I am using Mac SPSS v25 and want to do propensity matched scoring but I am getting the following error. Can someone please guide. Thanks a lot

* Propensity Score Matching.

begin program.

import spss, random, spssaux, codecs

try:

import FUZZY

except:

print "This procedure requires the FUZZY extension command which is not installed."

parts = [int(i) for i in FUZZY.__version__.split(".")]

if parts < [1,3,0]:

raise EnvironmentError("This procedure requires version 1.3.0 or later of FUZZY")

ds = spss.ActiveDataset()

if ds =="*":

ds = "D" + str(random.random())

spss.Submit("DATASET NAME " + ds)

ds = codecs.encode(ds) # must use code page rep here

matchgroup = "M" + str(random.random()) #temporary variable

tempdsname = "D" + str(random.random())

lrcmd = spssaux.u(r"""LOGISTIC REGRESSION VARIABLES PPM

/METHOD=ENTER firstHB SecondHB OtherSecondHB

/SAVE=PRED(PropPPM).""")

try:

spss.Submit(lrcmd)

except:

raise ValueError("Logistic Regression step failed")

fuzzycmd = spssaux.u(r"""FUZZY BY=PropPPM SUPPLIERID=TAVR NEWDEMANDERIDVARS=ID

spss.Submit(fuzzycmd)

end program.

This procedure requires the FUZZY extension command which is not installed.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<string>", line 7, in <module>

NameError: name 'FUZZY' is not defined

If you have not installed the FUZZY extension command, install it using Extensions > Extension Hub menu.

If you have done that, run this code from a syntax window to get a more detailed error message.

begin program.

import FUZZY

print(FUZZY)

end program.

I have it installed. Running the above mentioned code gives me the following results.

begin program.

import FUZZY

print(FUZZY)

end program.

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

ImportError: No module named FUZZY

Are you on Windows with SPSS Statistics installed under Program Files? Windows sometimes plays tricks with files copied under that directory.

Try starting Statistics using Run As Administrator and installing FUZZY again.

If that doesn't work, there are some other things to try.

I actually have Mac - I did try reinstalling FUZZY but same problem.

I really appreciate your help Jon, please advice what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

I am not a Mac person, and I don't know exactly how the user in the other post I linked solved it, but one thing that should work is this.

Create a folder, say /extensions, that you know you have write access to

Create two environment variables:

SPSS_CDIALOGS_PATH=/extensions

SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH=/extensions

Restart Statistics if it was running and try the install again.

If you don't know how to create environment variables on a Mac, you will have to ask a Mac user about that

Good luck.
