similar to: Write.dta and export of variable labels

Hello, I need to write out a data matrix as a STATA 7 file and this happens perfectly with write.dta(), except I cannot seem to export the labelnames to Stata. So far I have tried the following: # X is the data matrix that is to be exported attributes(X)$var.labels <- c("apple", "banana", "cat") write(X, filename = "text.dta", version = 7) When i

Thanks in advance. I pass data sets between R and Stata and think dta files would be the best files for this. To do this I can use package foreign or package memisc. I mostly use foreign, although have used memisc and this problem mostly didn't happen, but created errors at other times. I have a csv data set (and created a test case) with with at least one column completely missing. This

I'm trying to read in a Stata file but I've never used this function ( read.dta). It's the only one that seems to come close to working, but I keep getting this error: > data<-read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta") Error in read.dta("C:/Documents and Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta", : a binary read

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

Hope everyone id doing great .. Just need some clarification over the limit of write.dta. I have some coauthors that use stata and I need to send them my data in .dta format. the data.frame is 41706x229 and I get the following Error in write.dta(Panel, file = "STATADATA/Panel.dta", version = 7) : a binary write error occured Once I subset the data everything works out fine. my

Dear R listers, I have a silly problem. I am trying to load a dta (Stata) file in R. The dta is about 650 MB and contains the integrated World Values Survey/ European Value Study data-set. My problem is that I don't manage to load the file. After almost 3 hours after I issued the following command: data <-

Thanks in advance. I'm having a trouble with data saving. I want to run the same data which is in Ecdat library at different statistic programs(excel, stata and matlab) The data I want to use is library(Ecdat) data(Housing) and I want to extract this data our of R as *.dta *.xls formats. So, my first try was to open the data in R window and drag and paste to excel or notepad. BUT, it

Greetings Everybody: I generated a 1.2MB dta file based on the general social survey with Stata8 for linux. The file can be re-opened with Stata, but when I bring it into R, it says all the values are missing for most of the variables. This dataset is called "morgen.dta" and I dropped a copy online in case you are interested http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/R/morgen.dta looks like this

Hi, I'd like to request that the 'write.dta' command also save the "var.labels" attributes of the data frame. 'read.dta' can read them, but 'write.dta' doesn't write them back. Thanks....

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

I got a .dta extension file by e-mail, but I can't save it in my computer and open it in R. How can I do it? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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.

Dear all, I was wondering whether anyone knows about a program which converts (part of) a data definition file (such as a .dct file for stata, or .sas file for sas) into an R-script. Here is an example with a .sas file: <-- snipp VALUE HTYPE (default=32) 0 = "Not in household" 1 = "Married couple family household" 2 =

Greetings! I attempted to read a STATA 10 file using the following syntax: library(foreign) data <- read.dta("~/Documents/agestandard/analysis.dta") I got the following error: *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x48)[0xb7c13138]

The R documentation for some of the foreign package's functions says that the set of variable labels becomes attributes in the resulting data frame. Thus, e.g., 5="strongly agree", 4="agree", etc. I'm happy that the labels are being passed, but unfortunately, when R summarizes the data, it will list it only as categories, and doesn't deal with the

Dear list, I am trying to replicate an econometrics study that was orginally done in Stata. (Blanton and Blanton. 2009. A Sectoral Analysis of Human Rights and FDI: Does Industry Type Matter?

The model I try to replicate is in Stata given as xtpcse total_FDI lag_total ciri human_cap worker_rts polity_4 market income econ_growth log_trade

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 <-

Hi, I am trying to run a logistic regression to look at the risk of malaria infection in individuals. I want to account for intra household correlation and so want to include a household level random effect. I have been using the lmer command in lme4 package but am getting some strange results that are completely different to those I get using STATA. Can I just check that this is the correct
