similar to: write.dta limits

Thanks in advance. I pass data sets between R and Stata and think dta files would be the best files for this. To do this I can use package foreign or package memisc. I mostly use foreign, although have used memisc and this problem mostly didn't happen, but created errors at other times. I have a csv data set (and created a test case) with with at least one column completely missing. This

I'm trying to read in a Stata file but I've never used this function ( read.dta). It's the only one that seems to come close to working, but I keep getting this error: > data<-read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta") Error in read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta", : a binary read

Dear R listers, I have a silly problem. I am trying to load a dta (Stata) file in R. The dta is about 650 MB and contains the integrated World Values Survey/ European Value Study data-set. My problem is that I don't manage to load the file. After almost 3 hours after I issued the following command: 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

Hello, I need to write out a data matrix as a STATA 7 file and this happens perfectly with write.dta(), except I cannot seem to export the labelnames to Stata. So far I have tried the following: # X is the data matrix that is to be exported attributes(X)$var.labels <- c("apple", "banana", "cat") write(X, filename = "text.dta", version = 7) When i

When I import a data file in stata format using read.dta, the full variable labels (e.g. variable= "inc2000"; variable label= "Total household income in year 2000"). When I then export the same data file using write.dta, the variable labels are not included in the new .dta file. Is there any way to ensure that the variable labels are maintained? Thanks [[alternative HTML

Hi, I'd like to request that the 'write.dta' command also save the "var.labels" attributes of the data frame. 'read.dta' can read them, but 'write.dta' doesn't write them back. Thanks....

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]]

I got a .dta extension file by e-mail, but I can't save it in my computer and open it in R. How can I do it? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thanks in advance. I'm having a trouble with data saving. I want to run the same data which is in Ecdat library at different statistic programs(excel, stata and matlab) The data I want to use is library(Ecdat) data(Housing) and I want to extract this data our of R as *.dta *.xls formats. So, my first try was to open the data in R window and drag and paste to excel or notepad. BUT, it

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

Greetings! I attempted to read a STATA 10 file using the following syntax: library(foreign) data <- read.dta("~/Documents/agestandard/analysis.dta") I got the following error: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x48)[0xb7c13138]

Hello all, I recently moved from the US to Africa & on changing my time zone in the OSX system preferences from EST to GMT+3 ( East Africa) on attempting to use read.dta using the foreign package began getting an error of: "Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous format" This error goes away & the data is correctly read in when

I'm trying to read in a perfectly good Stata data file created using Stata 10 in Linux and saved in the version 8/9 format using "saveold". R fails to read in the file: aa<-read.dta("myfile.dta") Error in read.dta("myfile.dta"): a binary read error occurred If I resave the file in Stata using the "nolabels" option of saveold, I get: There were

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 <-

Hello folks, I'm trying to get an 8x8 DTA-310 running mgcp to work. I get no dialtone & can't get it to ring.

I'm trying to create a dotplot with some grouping. I've been able to create what I want using dotchart (basic graphics), but can't quite get it using dotplot (lattice). I prefer to use lattice (or ggplot2) because I think it's a bit easier to control some other aspects of the plot appearance. Basically, w/ lattice I've not been able to get the y-axis label to include the

I doubt your actual file looks like the mess that made it to my email software (below) because you posted HTML-format email.
