Dear r-help list members, I thought that many of you might be interested in the following announcement from the data archive of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (a world-wide organization of nearly 800 universities and other institutions headquartered at the University of Michigan): -------------- snip ----------- ICPSR releases new datasets in R format ICPSR

Hello, I've a .por file from 1998. I've tried to read it with library(foreign) read.spss("mhp_hu.por") at this point R simply stops working and my whole system is close to unusable I've found one related thread, but even there no real solution was given https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-February/125071.html Unfortunately, I have no SPSS, and I can't convert

Hi, I have a SPSS datafile which is used for my textbook in the statistics (and which is available on http://abacon.com/fox/s6720p2.sav, but it is originally from ICPSR). When I opened it with SPSS 10 and run Frequencies on it I have got 979 valid data a 27 missing. However, see below (unfortunately, I have used R in preparation of my homework, which caused me an error on this): >

Does anyone know how to read SPSS .por (ie Portable) files? The foreign package only deals with SPSS .sav files and not with those with a "por" extension.

Hello R-help, I am trying to import a large dataset from SPSS into R. The SPSS file is in .SAV format and is about 1GB in size. I use read.spss to import the file and get an error saying that I have run out of memory. I am on a MAC OS X 10.5 system with 4GB of RAM. Monitoring the R process tells me that R runs out of memory when reaching about 3GB of RAM so I suppose the remaining 1GB is used up

dear all, i'm trying to reproduce an spss-anova in R. It is an 2x3x3 repeated measures desingn with repeated contrasts. In R i've coded a contrast matrix for all factors and made a split in the aov summary - but I can't get the repeated interaction contrasts. The output from SPSS looks like this: TaskSw * CongNow * CongBefore: SS df Mean Square F Sig. 1 vs. 2 1 vs. 2 1 vs. 2

SPSS seems to have changed its default datafile format, resulting in issues for read.spss(). In Windows this results in a warning, in Debian the import completely fails: Debian (R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) i486-pc-linux-gnu, foreign_0.8-29) > read.spss("/home/jeroen/samples/Tomato.sav") Error in iconv(names(rval), cp, "") : unsupported conversion from 'CP65001'

Hello, does anyone have experience with reading SPSS Version 15.0 files into R (version 2.4.1, WinXP)? I have long been sucessfully reading SPSS files with read.spss from the wonderful foreign package, but somehow after upgrading from SPSS14 to SPSS15 I seem to have problems. Trying a simple example, where test.sav is a SPSS 15.0 data file consisting of x1=c(1,2,3) and

I am using spss.get to import an SPSS database "Data.sav", created with SPSS 14 : df1 <- spss.get("C:/temp/Data.sav" , lowernames=TRUE, datevars = c("dateinte")) I am getting this warning. I get the same warning with read.spss. Warning message: C:/temp/Data.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 16 encountered in system file This is a stupid

Hi All, My paper "R for SAS and SPSS Users" received a bit more of a reaction than I expected. I posted the link (http://oit.utk.edu/scc/RforSAS&SPSSusers.pdf) about 12 days ago on R-help and the equivalent SAS and SPSS lists. Since then people have downloaded it 5,503 times and I've gotten lots of questions along the lines of, "Surely R can't do for free what [fill in

Hi Roland and folks: Roland's and Susanna's comments were very interesting. I think we need to keep in mind that unlike SPSS, R is more than a statistical package. It's a tool. SPSS does indeed make life easy, particularly for data preprocessing (or data "cleaning"), something that is perhaps not advisable using R (the current versions). Also, I think it's a myth that R

Hi Jake, I had and still have got the same problem. There were two columns in the data frame which contain just missing values. When I deleted those the impord seemed to work, but there is still a warning message.

Someone supplied me with a small SPSS datafile that caused a buffer overflow and then a crash when reading it in R. It seems like a pretty serious issue to me. Unfortunately I can't supply the dataset at hand and I have a hard time reproducing it with a toy example. But I found at least 2 issues that might be related. The first one is that when the spss dataset has a 'string' variable

Hello R-user bug seekers are needed! In order to perform these simple tasks you have to use a copy of SPSS and obviously R. The problem is that date conversion of data coming from SPSS gives wrong results, if we follow ?as.POSIXct ## SPSS dates (R-help 2006-02-17) z <- c(10485849600, 10477641600, 10561104000, 10562745600) as.Date(as.POSIXct(z, origin="1582-10-14",

My students are working with several SPSS dataset provided by the European Social Survey. If you register your name, you can download it too. This is the 2004 data, for example: http://ess.nsd.uib.no/ess/round2/ I cannot give you the European Survey dataset, but you can download it for free if you like, and then you could run these commands to re-produce this weird pattern described below.

Dear List, I recently got the chance to interview Jon Peck of SPSS Inc, a pioneering technical statistician working since 1983 (when there were only two substantial statistical software companies as per him ;) (not anymore ;) and currently he is a Principal Software Engineer and Technical Advisor at SPSS. Jon talks of SPSS Inc's involvement with the Open Source, of scripting languages

Dear Lists, I got the chance to review Bob Muenchen's book - R for SAS and SPSS users. While my detailed review is online at www.decisionstats.com, the book is a welcome addition in R Textbooks for beginners and an especially nice one for people who have experience in SAS and /or SPSS languages. AT 50 USD, it's reasonably priced for all geographies (;) , and quite handy as a refernce book

Hi all. I have an SPSS file that I'm loading into R with the Hmisc spss.get function. The trouble is that the SPSS file uses the Windows-1252 character set (which I think is the default for SPSS on Windows) instead of plain-ol' Latin-1, and since spss.get doesn't allow me to pass the "reencode" option to read.spss, any characters in Windows-1252 that are not a part of Latin-1
