Hi You can use as.numeric(sex) to get numeric values for factor variable. This is sometimes handy for plotting. However if you throw away labels how do you know what naumber belongs to which factor level?

[R] Importint stata file and using value labels
Yep. Im a bit stalled. I can't find the option to import only the values and drop the value labels from the dta file. Im quite sure R can do that. Then i'd only used the values and i'd rely on my memory. It isn't a bad alternative.
