Dear all, I am trying to read an SPSS file into a data frame in R using method read.spss(), sample <- read.spss(file.name,to.data.frame=TRUE) But dates in the data.frame ''sample'' are coming as integers and not in the actual date format given in the SPSS file. Appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this problem. Kind Regards, Praveen Surendran 2G, Complex

Hi, I have a valid SPSS .sav file (which I can open happily in SPSS v11 on Windows XP).

Full_Name: Roger Newton Version: 2.8.1 OS: windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (80.176.228.157) I have an elderly version of SPSS (version 11) which I still use. R Version 2.6.1 would, and still will, read SPSS *.sav files produced by SPSS version 11. R version 2.8.1 which I installed two days ago (05/02/09) reports an error and shuts down when trying to read SPSS version 11 *.sav files using

Hi, Is there a command to get the indices of intersecting elements of two vectors as intersect() will give the elements and not its indices. Thanks in advance.

Hola Estimadas y Estimados, Alguno podrá enseñarme, en caso de que sea posible, como lvantar desde R una base (o variables) que estén en formato .sav (SPSS). Hay que aplicar una librería distinta library (RODBC)? ,que es la que llamo para levantar bases de un servidor SQL. Espero que esten bien. Muchas gracias. Saludos cordiales, Juan Manuel.

useRs, Don't know if this requires a bug report, but using the read.spss function on files written by the new SPSS 12.0 produces the following warning message: Warning message: C:\data\spss.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. The data files appear to be read correctly. The warning likely results from changes to the file format due to SPSS increasing

Hallo! I read SPSS data in the following way: library(Hmisc) library(foreign) dat<-spss.get("surv_abb.sav") In R1.9.1 I got the message: "Error in all(arg == choices) : Object "typeDate" not found" In R1.8.0 the same script works fine. Does anybody know a possibilty to read a SPSS file under R1.9.1? Thanks! Karl

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",

Dear colleagues, I'm working with the 2008 Canada Election Studies (http://www.queensu.ca/cora/_files/_CES/CES2008.sav.zip), trying to construct a weighted national sample using the survey package. Three weights are included in the national survey (a household weight, a provincial weight and a national weight which is a product of the first two). In the following code I removed variables with

Hi, This code is trying to produce a series of graphics files, with plots of male and female disease rates by age, one plot per disease. The dataframe contains a variable 'Age' and a set of variables called 'Male_CVD, Female_CVD,Male_RTA,Female_RTA, and so on. For each disease, I want to pull out the column of data containing the word 'Male' and plot this against age, and then

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'

Hi, Is there a way in R to get the string which matches the expression, where the expression is a substring of the parent string. Lets say, I have $i <- "transcript:ENST0000112334 pid:ENSP000012345" What I need is the string "pid:ENSP000012345" from $i using the query "ENSP". Appreciate your comments.

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

Dear R-users, I'm facing a problem with the import of data in R. I have a sav file that, I presume, uses some Arabic encoding (but I don't know which one) and I would like to read it with R. When I use the function read.spss (I also tried spss.get(Hmisc)), I get the following message: > read.spss("Hhld.sav") Erreur dans read.spss("Hhld.sav") : erreur ? la lecture

A couple of months ago, probably using an older version of R, R used to run the following code just fine: library("foreign") data.exp1 <- as.data.frame(read.spss("dataDef.sav")) Issuing the same commands now (after starting R using --vanilla), gives me the following behavior: > library("foreign") > x <- read.spss("dataDef.sav") Error
