similar to: Calling R code from within STATA

Dear R Users, Do you know whether is there any way of calling STATA from within R (possibly in a similar way that is possible to call WinBUGS from within R using the function "Bugs")?? Thanks, Manuel -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Call-STATA-code-from-within-R-tp961885p961885.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello, I have compared the potentials of R and Stata about GLMM, analysing the dataset 'ohio' in the package 'faraway' (the same dataset is analysed with GEE in the book 'Extending the linear model with R' by Julian Faraway). Basically, I've tried the 2 commands 'glmmPQL' and 'glmer' of R and the command 'xtmelogit' of Stata. If I'm not

Dear R users, I'm trying to specify a generalized linear mixed model in R, basically a Poisson model to describe monthly series of counts in different regions. My aim is to fit subject-specific curves, modelling a non-linear trend for each region through random effects for linear splines components (see Durban et al, Stat Med 2005, or " Semiparametric regression" by Ruppert et al,

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 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

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,

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 All, I am working on a project with Stata 7 datafiles. I'm trying to do some of my analysis in R since I don't have Stata handy. My problem is with accessing the Stata column descriptions. (Part of the project is to clean up these column descriptions.) I imported the Stata files ok using the standard X <- read.dta("c:/testdata/test1.dta") test1.dta has column

Full_Name: peter muhlberger Version: 2.7.1 OS: Ubuntu x86_64 dual core Submission from: (NULL) (70.238.206.13) I've spent half a day generating .dta files using write.dta only to have them crash my copy of Stata. I eventually discovered that removing a string variable with a maximum observed length of 280 characters allows Stata to read the file without problems. A Stata limit is that the

Hello, I am switching to R from Stata and I am having particular trouble with the transition from Stata's 'xtabond' and 'ivreg' commands to the "plm" package. I am trying to replicate some of the dynamic panel data work using the UK Employment data in Arellano and Bond (1991) and available as 'EmplUK' under the 'plm' package. I have been

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)

Hello, I'm not a Stata user so I'm trying to reproduce Stata results that are given to me in R. I would like to use a GLM with a complementary log-log function. The stata code I have is: glm c IndA fia, family(binomial s) link(cloglog) offset(offset) The R code is: glmt <- glm(data=dataset, c ~ IndA + fia, offset = offset, family = binomial(link = cloglog)) Which yields

Hello all, I need to use Stata to collaborate with some colleagues on a project. I use Linux Mint exclusively on my computers. Though Stata licenses are OS-independent, the university I'm at only supports Mac and Windows. Stata is available through a university-wide license for those operating systems. Unfortunately, they refuse to offer a download for Linux users. Since I don't want to

I am evaluating a switch from Stata to R. I don't need to extensive Statistical methods, but the main reason I am exploring the switch is the coding flexibility in R (e.g. Stata does not support linear/quadratic programming). I have been going over the R syntax and I had a quick question: In Stata, one has a very useful construction called "by", e.g. by month signal: gen xxx =

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

Hello all, Does anyone know if there exists any function in R that resembles the "lincom" and "nlcom" of STATA?. These functions computes point estimates, standard errors, significance levels, confidence intervals, etc. for linear and non linear combinations of previous estimated parameters. Down here you've got links to descriptions of the functions of STATA nlcom:

Hi, An R newbie here. I am using R 1.6 currently and have (successfully, I think) installed the Foreign package. Tried to import a data file created with Stata 7.0 SE. Had minor problems with syntax then R decided that my file was not really a Stata file. It rejected the file saying 'Not created by Stata 5-7/SE'. Any suggestions on how to convince R that this is really, truly a Stata
