Using factor variables with overlapping categories
...with this data is using all the
cross-tabs to produce some basic estimates of higher-dimensional tabulations
? some 10-way tables covering age, race, sex, age, rent/own, income, etc.
that are consistent with all the lower-dimensional margins, using a
multi-dimensional analogue of the RAS balancing (biproportional matrix
balancing) algorithm often used to update Leontief input-output tables.
Right now the approach I am using is to sum the age variables into four
categories the let me use four of my five age variables, and throw the fifth
(which has inconsistent breakpoints and is used in only one table) awa...

Can you turn a string into a (working) symbol?
Dear folks--
Suppose I have an expression that evaluates to a string, and that that
string, were it not a character vector, would be a symbol. I would like a
function, call it doppel(), that will take that expression as an argument
and produce something that functions exactly like the symbol would have if I
typed it in the place of the function of the expression. It should go as
far along the
