similar to: read.dta for files from stata 9.0

Hi, I wanted to download a file and did the following: --------------------------------------------------------- > fileLink <- 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE1000/GSE1000_RAW.tar' > download.file(fileLink,'/geoDat') trying URL 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE1000/GSE1000_RAW.tar' ftp data connection made,

Dear Sir/Madam, I converted the .dta into .Rdata with the foreign library read.dta. However, when I use fix() I get the message that the dates are discarded. Before fix(), class(dateX) gives 'dates' as class; after fix() class(dateX) gives 'character' Why is that? Best regards, Rob Bakker [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thanks in advance. I pass data sets between R and Stata and think dta files would be the best files for this. To do this I can use package foreign or package memisc. I mostly use foreign, although have used memisc and this problem mostly didn't happen, but created errors at other times. I have a csv data set (and created a test case) with with at least one column completely missing. This

Hi all, who knows how to get an ESRI Shapefile for the NUTS-2 Regions of the enlarged European Union? Particularly I want to draw maps of Germany, Poland, Czech Republik, Hungary and Austria. I've found Shapefiles for the US, Russia and other countries elsewhere in the web, but for Europe it seems really difficult. With many thanks for any hint Albrecht

Hope everyone id doing great .. Just need some clarification over the limit of write.dta. I have some coauthors that use stata and I need to send them my data in .dta format. the data.frame is 41706x229 and I get the following Error in write.dta(Panel, file = "STATADATA/Panel.dta", version = 7) : a binary write error occured Once I subset the data everything works out fine. my

I'm trying to read in a Stata file but I've never used this function ( read.dta). It's the only one that seems to come close to working, but I keep getting this error: > data<-read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta") Error in read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta", : a binary read

Dear R-helpers, I would like to have my students read into R an online Stata dataset: 'http://www.stat.ucla.edu/projects/datasets/risk_project.dta' I was able to read it into R after downloading it and converting it with StatTransfer (http://www.stattransfer.com/). Here is what happens when I use read.dta() as I would use read.table(): > require(foreign) > risk2 <-

Dear R listers, I have a silly problem. I am trying to load a dta (Stata) file in R. The dta is about 650 MB and contains the integrated World Values Survey/ European Value Study data-set. My problem is that I don't manage to load the file. After almost 3 hours after I issued the following command: data <-

Hello all, I have a large database (~100MB in 13 relational files) that made its way to me in two formats. The files were sent in both SAS xport and STATA, thanks, I am told, to stat-transfer. The two files, ostensibly, contain the same data, just in different formats. My goal: Move these files to MySQl without the help of SAS or STATA (which I do not have). The tools I am using are: 1.

I've found two problems in interpreting adv-r-master/book/build-book.r: 1. All pathes in build-book.r refer to the starting-directory "adv-r-master". However, the script build-book.r is located in the directory "book", which is located in directory "adv-r-master". Therefore, pathes starting at "." are wrong (should start at ".."). 2. Some

Hello, I need to write out a data matrix as a STATA 7 file and this happens perfectly with write.dta(), except I cannot seem to export the labelnames to Stata. So far I have tried the following: # X is the data matrix that is to be exported attributes(X)$var.labels <- c("apple", "banana", "cat") write(X, filename = "text.dta", version = 7) When i

Hi , library(foreign) write.dta(data1, "data1.dta") should work. The file will be saved in the working directory. Use getwd() to know the working directory.

Hi Albrecht, I am forwarding your reply to the full group. It's been a while since I did this and I don't remember the details. Maybe someone else can comment. (I am a bit busy at the moment.) If no one supplies the information in a few days I will try to take a look. In the meantime you can start your reading on-line. :-) Regards, Eric Dear Eric, I downloaded the material from

When I import a data file in stata format using read.dta, the full variable labels (e.g. variable= "inc2000"; variable label= "Total household income in year 2000"). When I then export the same data file using write.dta, the variable labels are not included in the new .dta file. Is there any way to ensure that the variable labels are maintained? Thanks [[alternative HTML

Hi, I'd like to request that the 'write.dta' command also save the "var.labels" attributes of the data frame. 'read.dta' can read them, but 'write.dta' doesn't write them back. Thanks....

Hi, I am new to R and I want to export data into Stata. Could somebody help with that? Thanks a lot.

I'm an R novice who is struggling with the importation STATA files into R. I've loaded "foreign" and tried the example based on the Swiss file, which works fine. I then placed a STATA file, auto6.dta, in my working directory, which is "C:\Program Files\R\rw1030\library\base\data". The following is what happened: > library(foreign) > read.dta(auto6) Error in

I got a .dta extension file by e-mail, but I can't save it in my computer and open it in R. How can I do it? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
