Hello all,
(Sorry, my bad english)
i am searching a alternativ for spss that i can use with linux. I
studied sociology in germany and work sometimes for some hours in the
marketresearch. There they use statistics like anova and crosstabs. I
see that r can make anova or regressions but the most work in the
marketresearch is making crosstabs. These companys use something like
spss tables or gess to make tables for the customers. I read that r can
make with latex tables with xtabs or ftable and so on. But i dont
understand the use of all that. My question is: Is R a good alternativ
to make tables?
The goal is to make something like that:

I can do that with spss or gess, but can i do that with R?
Is it looks good with R?

So start reading the manuals and just do your work with R. Uwe Ligges

My question is: Is R a good alternativ > to make tables?You will find the documentation fairly good. In particular, see Peter Dalgaard "Introductory Statistics with R", pp. 74-75. prop.table() gives the proportions of row or column totals. What "looks good" is subjective, and views vary on whether "looking good" is the same as being readable.> The goal is to make something like that: > > _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ > > Question 1.1 > What is your Age? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > PC-Users > Linux User Windows User > yes | no > || yes no yes no > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 0-10 years 4 2% | 1 1% || > xx and so on > | > || > 11-20 years 8 4% | 2 2% || > xx and so on > | > || > 21-30 years 8 4% | || > xx > | > || > 31 years an older 180 90% | || xx > | > || > not answerd 0 0% | || > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > 200 100% 100 100% > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Company XY > Customer XY > _____________________________________________________________________________________Page > 7 of 10 > > > > I can do that with spss or gess, but can i do that with R? > Is it looks good with R? > > > Greatings, Gerhard > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >-- Roger Bivand Economic Geography Section, Department of Economics, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Breiviksveien 40, N-5045 Bergen, Norway. voice: +47 55 95 93 55; fax +47 55 95 93 93 e-mail: Roger.Bivand at nhh.no

My question is: Is R a good alternativ >to make tables? >The goal is to make something like that:What you sent looks like a total mess on my terminal window. But, yes, R can make tables of all sorts. Usually xtab is quite good, but there are other table making functions, such as those in the Hmisc and gregmisc packages. Almost 3 years ago I was keeping Windows on my computer because I was using Systat - similar to SPSS - for data analysis. Then I discovered R and soon got rid of Windows forever. The beginning section of "Notes on R for psychology...", in my page below (and which we plan to revise soon) is written for people who are making the particular sort of transition I made.
