Dear Matt and/or others,
For weeks I have been struggling to install and use CEM for SPSS. I do not know R, and am
not familiar with programming, so I am very sorry if I ask any stupid questions.. I have
been able to use CEM before in SPSS 20, and it worked out very well, but am now not able
to reproduce this in SPSS 21 or 22. I really want to finish these analyses, so I would be
very grateful if someone could advice me. So I have two questions, solving one of them
would be enough for me :)
I tried in SPSS 22: I managed to install CEM. But the k2k option is not working. Something
seems to go wrong with the RandomForest option. And I cannot see the error messages, so I
really don't know what to do. I have pasted the output below, perhaps this looks
familiar to someone. I think the problem is SPSS related, not CEM, but am not sure. I have
downloaded the version of R associated with RandomForest; so I don't think this could
be the problem (but anything's possible).
I tried in SPSS 21 on my old laptop. I cannot fully install CEM, I get an error message
while installing the SPSS Essentials for Python 21 plugin, it says it needs SPSS version
21.0., but it can only find SPSS 21.0.??? See attached photo.
If someone could be so kind to advice me, I would be very happy :)
Thanks a lot!!
Best,

ps: Of course I tried all trouble shooting advice from the website and by googling on the
error messages. I have Windows 7. I also tried installing CEM again on someone else's
laptop with Spss 20, same installation problem? And I also tried installing cem for Spss
23 on my newest home laptop with Windows 10, not working either... Thanks!

New subject: cem for spss: k2k not working in 22/ installation problems in 21
Hi Jenneke,
Can you try the following that might help me narrow down the possible
problems? Run this command instead of the CEM command:
RCEM TREATMENT=xcohort VARIABLES=xagecat2 xnopartner xnon_west xchildren
xcity xnojob xanymisbr
/OPTIONS K2K NOIMBAL
/SAVE OUTPUTDATA=cemoutdata.
Two questions: (1) does that work? And (2) does it give you a k2k matching
solution? I've been having a hard time debugging SPSS, especially since we
were recently upgraded to 23. Hopefully this narrows it down for me.
Cheers,
Matt
