Dear R Users: I have race-ethnicity groups identified in the factor variable Ethnic_G. I need to collapse Ethnic_G into a new variable with only two factors, 1 (White, non-Hispanic) and 2 (Minority). As seen in the code and output below, the recoded race-ethnicity variable is put into logical format, not factor format. I've used library(car) and the package was updated. Any ideas on

Hello--I'm doing a simple crosstab using dcast: rawfreq <- dcast(nh11brfs, race3~CHCCOPD, length) with the results race3 Yes No NA 1 White non-Hispanic 446 5473 21 2 Other non-Hispanic 29 211 0 3 Hispanic 6 81 1 4 <NA> 10 83 1 How would I modify this call to exclude all missing values; that is, to obtain race3

Buenas tardes, Quiero aplicar la función rbind y necesito tener los mismos nombres de columnas. Como tengo unas 195 variables en cada dataframe, necesito hacerlo de una forma rápida. Tengo 9 bases de datos y tengo que fusionar todas. ¿Como puedo comprobar que los nombres de las variables son los mismos? Y de lo contrario, ¿como detecto las diferencias? He probado con

HI, Dear R community, I am using the xtable to create the table, but how can I see the table? The following is the codes I used: > data(tli) > tli.table <- xtable(tli[1:10, ]) > digits(tli.table)[c(2, 6)] <- 0 > print(tli.table, floating = FALSE) % latex table generated in R 2.11.0 by xtable 1.5-6 package % Thu Jul 1 20:43:43 2010 \begin{tabular}{rrlllr} \hline &

Newbie here. Many apologies in advance for using the incorrect lingo. I'm new to statistics and VERY new to R. I'm attempting to "group" or "bin" data together in order to analyze them as a combined group rather than as discrete set. I'll provide a simple example of the data for illustrative purposes. Patient ID | Charges | Age | Race 1 |

Hi all, When I try the following with pkg Survey it returns the error below: ftable(svyby(~INCOME, ~AGECL+RACECL, svymean, design=q50), rownames=list(AGECL=c("<35", "35-44", "45-54", "55-64", "65-74", ">=75"), RACECL=c("white non hispanic", "non white or

I have a function (see below) that does some bootstrapping (I am happy to expand offline why I could use existing functions.) I put my results into and empty matrix and add a row of results with each iteration. My problem is i am a new user to R and I don't understand data frames, matrices, elements, and vectors well. What I would like is to have a data frame I can manipulate outside of the

Hi, I am new to R. My problem is with the ordered logistic model. Here is my question: Generate an order discrete variable using the variable wrwage1 = wages in first full calendar quarter after benefit application in the following way: * wage*1*Ordered *= 1 *if*0 *· wrwage*1 *< *1000 2 *if*1000 *· wrwage*1 *< *2000 3 *if*2000 *· wrwage*1 *< *3000 4 *if*3000 *· wrwage*1 *<

Hi R-ers: I'm drawing a plot and have used different line types (lty) for different race/ethnicity groups. I want a legend that explains what line types correspond to the different race/ethnicity groups. I used the following code: legend( 1992 , 42 , c("Hispanic" , "non-Hispanic white (NHW)" , "non-Hispanic black" , "AI/AN" , "Asian" ) ,

I am trying to use tree to partition a data set. The data set has 3924 observations. Partitioning seems to work for small subsets of the data, but when I use the entire data set, no partitioning occurs. The variables are: RESP respondent to a survey (0 = not a respondent, 1 = respondent) AGE_P Age (continuous) ORIGIN_I Hispanic Ethnicity (1 = Hispanic, 2 = non-Hispanic) RACRECI2 Race

Hello, I'm trying to run a loop that will subset my data into specific sets by regions and by race/ethnicity. I'm trying to do this fairly compactly, and I cannot get this to work. A "simple" version of the code that I am trying to run is: names <- c("white", "black", "asian", "hispanic") for(j in names){ for(i in 1:9){

Dear R-help, First of all, thank you VERY much for any help you have time to offer. I greatly appreciate it. I would like to write a function that, given an arbitrary number of factors from a data frame, tabulates the number of occurrences of each unique combination of the factors. Cleary, this works: > table(horse,date,surface) <SNIP> , , surface = TURF

...le, if my covariate of interest is race and possible outcomes are white, black and hispanic, whereas the latter are minorities in my case - how can i state the odds ratio in such a way that white is the reference (always 1) and other races' odds ratio are relative to the reference. e.g. hispanics are 1.5 times more likely to ... Is creating 3 binary dummies for race the right way ? And if so how can i go on. As i said, i know this is rather basic, i am thankful for any links / references... thanks in advance !

I apologize if this has been answered. I have researched this to the best of my ability, that's not to say the answer isn't in the archives just I am a new user and I don't know the proper terms to search under. I have an object: f <- mpr100 ~ time + nhb + hispanic + other + rural + hrural + factor(age) + factor(gender) +

Dear R users, I am trying to estimate to estimate the average treatmen effect on the treated (ATT) using first the MatchIt software to weight the data set and, after this, the Zelig software as shown in Ho et al. (2007). See here for an explanation of how to apply this technique in R: http://imai.princeton.edu/research/files/matchit.pdf I encounter a slight problem when I apply the weights that

Hi there, Does anyone know how to extract data from a function that prints out two or more summaries? In the function below (the whole code is provided) we get 5 different tables of data. I would like to split each of these tables in a separate file (while the function itself shouldn't be changed), so that further analysis on each data set could be carried out. Your help is deeply

I just started using R and I'm having all sorts of "fun" trying different things. I'm going to document the different things I'm doing here as a kind of case study. I'm hoping that I'll get help from the community so that I can use R properly. Anyways, in this study, I have demographic data, drug usage data, and side effect data. All of this is loaded into a csv

I have a factor vector of subject races (Asian, Black, Hispanic, White; n=30) that I want to plot with a Cleveland dotplot or dotchart.
