similar to: how to import the large SPSS data file into R?

It is not a pure R question,but I hope some one can give me advices. I want to use analysis my data with the multilevel model.The data has 2 levels---- the second level has 52 units and each second level unit has 19-23 units.I think the sample size is quite small,but just now I can't make the sample size much bigger.So I want to ask if I use the multilevel model to analysis the data set,will

the data file has such structure: 1992 6245 49 . . 20 1 0 0 8.739536 0 . . . . . . . . "alabama" . 0 . 1993 7677 58 . . 15 1 0 0

The green book tells:"The basic technique is classic :keep it simple ."A long ,complicated expression or function is less fravorable than" a relatively small computations that combines calls to a few other functions to perform its tasks." But I don't get the point totally.Can anyone give me an example to make me understand this rules totally? ps: Is it mean that f1 is

the help page says: 'is.list' returns 'TRUE' iff its argument is a 'list' _or_ a 'pairlist' of 'length' > 0, whereas 'is.pairlist' only returns 'TRUE' in the latter case. does the "latter case" mean a 'pairlist' of 'length' > 0? but > is.pairlist(pairlist()) [1] TRUE > length(pairlist())

data from multilevel units,first sample the class ,and then the student in calss.following is the 2-level model. and the level-1 model deals with the student,and the level-2 model deals with the class level the students belong to.

Hi,When I read the source of str,i find these code ----- ## Show further classes // Assume that they do NOT have an own Method -- ## not quite perfect ! (.Class = 'remaining classes', starting with current) cl <- oldClass(object); cl <- cl[cl != "data.frame"] #- not THIS class ----- so I use ?oldClass to try to learn more about oldClass.But after I have reading

I want to get the logLik to calculate McFadden.R2 ,ML.R2 and Cragg.Uhler.R2, but the value from multinom does not have logLik.So my quetion is : is logLik meaningful to multinomial logistic model from multinom?If it does, how can I get it? Thank you! ps: I konw VGAM has function to get the multinomial logistic model with logLik, but I prefer use the function from "official" R

Hi, I wonder how well SPSS and R communicate, because I need SPSS but would like to do some data manipulations in R. However I am very afraid of never ending import-export-complications ? especially with all those labels and extra information my SPSS files contain. My data come from SPSS and have to be exported to SPSS again (because I need to produce special output tables, which would be hard to

Good working knowledge of a DBMS is almost invaluable when it comes to working with very large data sets. In addition, learning SQL is piece of cake compared to learning R. On top of that, knowledge of another (SQL)
