All, I have searched the previous help boards and discovered the problem with Rdonlp2 - Specifically, its non-availability. I thought that this was my solution, but perhaps there is a better way that you all could help me with. I imagine that this problem is trivial to people such as the experts on this mailing list. I am trying to solve this problem over and over again in a simulation:

Hello everybody. I've been learning R for about a month to do a econometric study and now i'm stuck with some problems to make R do the things I want. Here I give the list of things I wanna do from the most simple to the more complex (for me of course): 1. Make a log. I've been using Stata and there i have a great tool to register what the program do: the log file, wich it's a

Readers of this list might be interested in the following commenta about R. In a recent report, by Michael N. Mitchell http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/technicalreports/ says about R: "Perhaps the most notable exception to this discussion is R, a language for statistical computing and graphics. R is free to download under the terms of the GNU General Public License (see http://www.r-project.

Hi, I know how to use SPSS and JMP, and have quite a few JMP files I would like to use in R. I converted them to .xpt files, downloaded the 'foreign' library then tried this command: >read.xport("D:\\Databases\nameoffile.xpt") to which I get: >Error in lookup.xport(file) : unable to open file I have read FAQ lists and Google searched and cannot figure out what I'm

Dear folks ? I have a large (26 gig) ASCII flat file in fixed-width format with about 10 million observations of roughly 400 variables. (It is 51 years of Current Population Survey micro data from IPUMS, roughly half the fields for each record). The file was produced by automatic process in response to a data request of mine. The file is not accompanied by a human-readable file giving the

Dear Rusers, I have met a difficult problem on explaining the differences of principal component analysis(PCA) between R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, which wasn't met before. Althought they have got the same eigenvalues, their coeffiecients were different. First, I list my results from R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, and then show the original dataset, hoping sb. to try and explain it.

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Hi, I am new to R (I have most of my experience in SAS and SPSS). I was wondering if anyone has used both Resampling Stats and R, and could comment on strengths/relationships. Also, I have no clue on how to do the various examples from the book "Resampling: The New Statistics" in R. Can anyone give me some possible starting points? Or websites/books? Thanks, Brandon

Alternate title: How can I persuade my students that R is for them? Alternate title: Can R replace SAS, SPSS or Stata for clinicians? I am teaching introductory statistics to twelve physicians and two veterinarians who have enrolled in a Mentored Clinical Research Training Program. My course is the first in a sequence of three. We (the instructors of this sequence) chose to teach R rather than

Dear all, I'm trying to rerun some data linkage exercises in R (they are designed to be done in SPSS, SAS or STATA) The exercise in question is to relabel the column "treat" to "1", if "yearsep" is smaller than 1988 and columns "proc1"-"proc3" contain the values 56.36 or 59.81. My pathetic solution to do this in R currently looks like

Hi all, I've got a project where I have to calculate weight-for-age Z-scores, preferably using the WHO standards. WHO have been very nice to publish macros for doing this in both STATA,SPSS, SAS and Splus formats (see http://www.who.int/childgrowth/software/en/), but for some reason have chosen not to use the free R alternative to Splus. In the Splus zipfile there are nine datafiles with a

Gracias Eric Actualmente no tengo SPSS instalado en mi computador ni tengo licencia. El survey solo tiene los datos en formato SPSS o en formato de STATA (.dta). Creo que estos últimos se pueden leer con read.dta, de la library(foreign).

Good day My name is Jos? Oscar, I'm from Mexico and I have some questions about foreign in your write.foreig( ) function. We know that this function generates the inputs to be able to run them or execute them in another program like SPSS, SAS or Stata. In these cases, when creating an example file, a matrix and using the function to execute the .sps file directly from SPSS, I don't care or

Estimados Hoy instale RStudio, y por sorpresa o desconocimiento de mi parte, veo que hay la posibilidad de importar datos excel, spss, sas, stata, texto, recuerdo consultas en la lista al respecto, posiblemente mucho se soluciones con las herramientas propuestas por RStudio.

Dear Sir/Madam, I have just installed R for Windows. I am trying to open a stata file and I have a problem. I have used the following commands: > install.packages("foreign") > library(foreign) > data.name <- read.dta(file.choose()) # then I choose a kelleya.dta file and click on open and then I use the following command: > summary(kelleya) Error in object[[i]]

Colleagues, I am in the process of learning R. I've been able to import my dataset (from Stata) and do some simple coding. I have now come to coding situation that requires some assistance. This is some code in SPSS that I would like to be able to execute in R: if (race eq 1 and usborn=0) confused=1 . if (race eq 2 and usborn=0) confused=1 . if (race eq 1 and usborn=1) confused=0 . if (race

Often it is useful to keep a "codebook" to document the contents of a dataset. (By "dataset" I mean a rectangular structure such as a dataframe.) The codebook has as many rows as the dataset has columns (variables, fields). The columns (fields) of the codebook may include: ? variable name ? type (character, factor, integer, etc) ? variable label

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)
