Loops are not evil, and no-one in this thread said they are. But I believe your failure to provide a reproducible example is creating confusion, since you may be using words that mean one thing to you and something else to the readers here. ################################ # A reproducible example includes a tiny set of sample data # Since we cannot reproducibly refer to filenames (your

By the way, R 'vectors' are not the equivalents of mathematical 'vectors'. In R, a vector is something that can have arbitrary length and which has no 'attributes', other than perhaps element names. Vectors can be numeric, character, complex, lists, etc. Functions, names, and NULL are not vectors. In my opinion, the typical data scientist will rarely find the R vector

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

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 <-

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-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

Hi again! I know you don't find loops evil (well, at least not diabolic :-) ). (After many hours googling I have realized that thinking about loops rather than lists is a newbie thing we Stata-users do, I just jokingly pointed it out). Anyway, I'm really happy that you try to teach me some R-manners. Since I still get questions about what the h**k I mean by my strange question, I sort it

Hi , library(foreign) write.dta(data1, "data1.dta") should work. The file will be saved in the working directory. Use getwd() to know the working directory.

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

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

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

Hi, I have a new job, and everyone here uses Stata. I won't give up on R, but I must learn better how to exchange data between the two softwares. I am now focusing on importing data from Stata to R, and I must confess that I am a bit disappointed with the read.dta function from the foreign package because IT typically happens that (i) I get a big R file (for example, a 15Mb Stata file

Concerning this article, Christopher Zorn, "Generalized Estimating Equation Models for Correlated Data: A Review with Applications." 2001. American Journal of Political Science 45(April):470-90. The author very kindly provides data for replication on his web page: http://www.emory.edu/POLS/zorn/Data/GEE.zip. I've been comparing the Professor Zorn's results obtained with

Hi I am using Stata 10 and I need to import a data set in stata 10 to R, I have saved the dataset in lower versions of Stata as well by using saveold command in Stata. My RAM is 4gb and the stata file is 600MB, I am getting an error message which says : "Error: cannot allocate vector of size 3.4 Mb In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)" Thus

Hi, I am new to R and I want to export data into Stata. Could somebody help with that? Thanks a lot.

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)

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,

:-) I don't insist on anything, I'm just struggling to learn a new language and partly a new way of thinking, and I really appreciate the corrections. I hope I someday will be able to handle lists in R as easy as I handle loops in Stata... Thanks again!
