similar to: Large Stata file Import in R

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

Hi I have a stata data set (.dta file) of size 600 MB, I need to import it in R and do a 2SLS multilevel analysis on the data set. I would eb grateful if help is provided for the first part of how to import this big file from Stata to R and then how to open the imported Stata file in R? Kindly help Thanks in advance -- Dr.Saurav Pathak PhD, Univ.of.Florida Mechanical Engineering Doctoral

Hello all I have been working to fix this for weeks now, It should be simple to fix. Please help Let me explain what I am doing, I have a data set for 65 countries over a period of 9 years (2000-2008). Each country has on an average say 2000 interviews, so that the total set has roughly 65*9*2000 data points/observations (of course there are missing vales as well). Now let me explain how are the

I have so far used the following command glm(formula = s ~ age + gender + gemedu + gemhinc + es_gdppc + imf_pop + estbbo_m, family = binomial(link = "probit")) My question is 1. How do i discard the non significant selection variables (one out of the seven variables above is non-significant) and calculate the Inverse Mills Ratio of the significant variables 2. I need the inverse

I am typing the following on the command prompt: >variab = read.csv(file.choose(), header=T) >variab It lists 900,000 ( this is the total number of observations in "variab" ) minus 797124 observations and prompts the following message [ reached getOption("max.print") -- omitted 797124 entries ]] Is there a way to see the entire set of data, ie all of 900,000 obs, and

foreign package does not support dataset saved at stata 13. anyone knows any wayt to make it works? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users I have a data set which has five variables. One depenedent variable y, and 4 Independent variables (education-level, householdincome, countrygdp and countrygdpsquare). The first two are data corresponding to the individual and the next two coorespond to the country to which the individual belongs to. My data set does not make this distinction between individual level and country

Hi, I am trying to plot densities given on a two dimensional grid. My data is in the an external file, and is arranged in three columns: x, y, density how may i get a plot of this? i would like to get (1) a three dimensional plot and (2) a color coded two dimensional plot. I have tried using image(x, y, density) but i am asked to put the data in ascending order. i am not sure how i may

Hi, I need some suggestion on how I could modify the color on some rectangle that I have created using "image". In other words, I have a 5x5 matrix, say, m. m <- matrix(rnorm(25), nrow=5) I create a grid of rectangles by: image(m) Now I want to change the color of rectangle (3,3) to blue. I don't know how this could be done, and searching the web has

hi, i am need to plot two or more sets of data in a 3d scatterplot, each set with different color. i tried Rcmdr, and the 3d scatterplot facility, based on rgl. that is what i need. but i cannot seem to code different sets of data differently. any help will be very helpful. i tried scatterplot3d, but it is difficult to get the right angle in it. i need to be able to rotate the axes, and

Hi All, I am trying to use loess to smooth a 2D image, and also obtain the standard error for every pixel. I see that the standard error does not make sense. For example, running the following: library(stats) x <- array(c(1:100), dim=c(100,100)) y <- t(x) v <- exp(-((x-50)^2+(y-50)^2)/30^2) s <- v*0.02 g_noise <- rnorm(10000, mean = 0, sd = s) f <- v + g_noise f.loess <-

Hi, For some reason I have been unable to use the predict function when I desire the standard error to be calculated too. For example, when I try the following: l<- loess(d~x+y, span=span, se=TRUE) p<- predict(l, se=TRUE) I get the following error message: Error in vector("double", length) : vector size cannot be NA In addition: Warning message: In N * M1 : NAs produced by

hi all, i am trying to make multi-color plots. that is, i generally use, plot(x, y, type="n") text(x, y, labels=class) here, the vector class denotes the class of each point. there are usually 3-4 classes of points. how may i display the different classes in different colors? thanks for any help. -- saurav

hi, i have just begun using R, so please bear with me. i am trying to use cmdscale and display the result. i read the data using read.table(), calculate the proximity matrix using dist() and the display the result using the cmdscale(). this is very fine. in addition, i want the display to distinguish between two classes of records in my data. i have my data records marked as "1" or

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

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

Dear R-list, I am currently working on a dataset with a colleague who uses stata. We fit a random intercept model to the data (decisions clustered in participants) and get closely the same results in stata (using xtreg re) and R (using the lme4 or multilevel package). Now in stata, there is an additional option for the regression to control for clustering; the vce(cluster clustvar) option,
