Even though the FDA has no policies at all that limit our choices of statistical software, there is one defacto standard in place: reliance of the SAS transport file format for data submission (even though this format is deficient for this purpose, e.g., it does not even document value labels or units of measurement in a self-contained way). Because of the widespread use of SAS transport files in

I've noticed quite a few messages relating to large data sets bedeviling R users, and having just had to program my way through one that actually caused a "Bus error" when I tried to read it in, I'd like to ask two questions. 1) Are there any facilities for aggregation of data in R? ( I admit that this will not do much for the large data set problem immediately) 2) Is there any

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

Hi All, Sorry that I didn't provide enough information. I've been trying to import SAS xport files that contain multiple files using package foreign's read.xport. I first attempted this back in 2005 and had problems. Some of files that were present in the SAS xport file weren't being created in R. I submitted my problem to the community:

Under platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 6.1 year 2002 month 11 day 01 language R and using foreign 0.5-8 I am encountering errors when using read.xport. Here's

Saikat DebRoy and I have been working on an R package that, among other things, will read SAS data libraries in the XPORT format. Even though a SAS data set is of a fairly simple structure, it is a challenge to write code to read the libraries "properly". In fact, I am beginning to think that file format is not well-defined. Here is the situation: - a SAS data set is a table.

Function in the base library of R 1.8.0 seems to use a search path with base coming before the local environment. I think this is intentional and is related to base being a namespace. > log <- function(x, base) 200 > log(1) [1] 200 > log10 function (x) log(x, 10) <environment: namespace:base> > log10(1) [1] 0 > This is most problematic when you are creating a

I have downloaded R--no problem there. Unfortunately, I have run into a second problem. I am trying to use read.ssd and then read.xport (to get a SAS data set). I have imported the package "foreign" according to instructions ( options(CRAN="http://cran.us.r-project.org/") and install.packages("foreign") ), but when I do so and then use either read.ssd or read.xport I

I have found that data imported from SAS using read.xport() in package foreign (installed recently) does not match the original data, when the data consists of character strings that are only one character long. Here is an example. ---- SAS commands to create the data ---- options nocenter; data foo; a='a'; b='bb'; length c d $2; c='c'; d='

Forgive me if this isn't relevant, but: are you stripping off the output you need (e.g., parameter estimates) and throwing away what you don't (e.g., residuals)?

Hello- I understand that it's convention, when comparing two models using the anova function anova(model1, model2), to put the more "complicated" (for want of a better word) model as the second model. However, I'm using lme in the nlme package and I've found that the order of the models actually gives opposite results. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the case

Hello, I am interested in using nlme to model repeated measurements, but I don't seem to get good CIs. With the code below I tried to generate data sets according to the model given by equations (1.4) and (1.5) on pages 7 and 8 of Pinheiro and Bates 2000 (having chosen values for beta, sigma.b and sigma similar to those estimated in the text). For each data set I used lme() to fit a model,

I see in the archives significant discussion about SAS, CDISC formats etc. for FDA, but no direct suggestion of adding a write.xport method to the foreign package. Are there significant barriers to doing so? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
