Dear Sir/Madam, I converted my Stata Rgenmetvl.dta file with read.dta succesfully in R's Rgenmetvl.Rdata. However, factors give problem in certain calculations, e.g.: > mean(Rgenmetvl$sex) [1] NA Warning message: In mean.default(Rgenmetvl$sex) : argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA What can I do? In addition to means, summary(Rgenmetvl$sex) works perfectly. Best regards,

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]]

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 <-

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

Hi, I am new to R and I want to export data into Stata. Could somebody help with that? Thanks a lot. This is the code I am using: > setwd("D:/datasets/Seg-bcn/ESBD") > data1 <- readRDS("r17045_ESDB_Habitatges_BDD_V_1_0.rds") > library(foreign) > write.dta(data="data1", file = "D:/datasets/data1.dta") Error in write.dta(data =

Dear R-helpers, if I want to read a .dta-file generated by stata 9.0 with read.dta (foreign), I get the message "not a stata version 5-8 .dta-file". I'm using R-2.6.2 and the latest version of the foreign package. Has someone any hint? With many thanks, Albrecht

Dear R-help list, I'm new to R. I tried to get R to read a Stata data file using the read.dta function in the package "foreign", which I downloaded and extracted to "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.2\library" on my pc. I tried > nora <- read.dta("nora.dta") and got Error: could not find function "read.dta" I guess "foreign" needs to

Dear Everybody: I'm doing my usual "how does that work in R" thing with some Stata projects. I find a gross gap between the Stata and R in Cox PH models, and I hope you can give me some pointers about what goes wrong. I'm getting signals from R/Survival that the model just can't be estimated, but Stata spits out numbers just fine. I wonder if I should specify initial

Dear R users, I am trying to import a table from STATA, a dta file. With a table called "table", this is what I do : library("foreign") read.dta(table) It does not work. What am I doing wrong ? Best Regards, Dwayne [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings Everybody: I generated a 1.2MB dta file based on the general social survey with Stata8 for linux. The file can be re-opened with Stata, but when I bring it into R, it says all the values are missing for most of the variables. This dataset is called "morgen.dta" and I dropped a copy online in case you are interested http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/morgen.dta looks like this

Dear All, I have been struggling to understand why for the housing data in MASS library R and stata give coef. estimates that are really different. I also tried to come up with many many examples myself (see below, of course I did not have the set.seed command included) and all of my `random' examples seem to give verry similar output. For the housing data, I have changed the data into numeric

I have a client who uses Stata 11. Can anyone advise me on ways of transferring data from this version of Stata to R? Reading the documentation for read.dta in package foreign it seems it only allows for versions up to Stata 10. I don't know Stata at all but a bit of poking around on their website led me to believe Stata 11 couldn't write in Stata 10 format. However Stata 11 can

Hello I would like to develop the use of R. Trying R and more particulary the cox model, I am surprised by discrepancies between results with stata and R for a cox model With the same data base, I get a hazard ratio (4.82) that is not the same obtained with stata (4.52) You will find attached the file leukemia.dta I used (Stata) Here are the codes for R library(foreign)

Hi, I am a Stata user new to R. I am using read.dta to read a Stata file that has variables with value labels. read.dta converts them to factors, but seems to recode them with values from 1 to <number of factor levels> (looking at the output of unclass(<varname>)), so the original numerical values are lost. Using convert.factors=FALSE preserves the values, but seems to discard

As you know, Stata support in 'foreign' was frozen a while back at Stata version 12. R-core has received a request from a grad student to 'give top priority' to supporting Stata 13. That is not going to happen, not least because none of us has access to Stata. However, according to Stata's documentation both Stata 12 and 13 use format 115, so foreign::read.dta should be

Dear All, I am given some data to analyze. The data is in the form of a Stata database (.dta file). What is the best way to import it into an R dataframe? Is there any particular caveat I should be aware of? Many thanks Lorenzo
