SAS.xpt/STATA.dta, field descriptions, and dbWriteTable
Hello all,
I have a large database (~100MB in 13 relational
files) that made its way to me in two formats. The
files were sent in both SAS xport and STATA, thanks, I
am told, to stat-transfer. The two files, ostensibly,
contain the same data, just in different formats.
My goal: Move these files to MySQl without the help of
SAS or STATA (which I do not have).
The tools I am using are:

foreign generates bad Stata data files (PR#13820)
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

Importing STATA files
I'm an R novice who is struggling with the importation STATA files into R.
I've loaded "foreign" and tried the example based on the Swiss file, which
works fine. I then placed a STATA file, auto6.dta, in my working directory,
which is "C:\Program Files\R\rw1030\library\base\data".
The following is what happened:

discrepancies between stata and r for a cox regression
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)

Read stata file from internet?
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():

Explaining Survival difference between Stata and R
Dear Everybody:
I'm doing my usual "how does that work in R" thing with some Stata
projects. I find a gross gap between the Stata and R in Cox PH models,
and I hope you can give me some pointers about what goes wrong. I'm
getting signals from R/Survival that the model just can't be estimated,
but Stata spits out numbers just fine.
I wonder if I should specify initial

exporting data to stata
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.
Best wishes

read.dta for files from stata 9.0
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,

polr probit versus stata oprobit
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

STATA base de datos
Tengo una base de datos muy grande en formato Stata, (dta), he probado a
leerla con el paquete foreign, y el comando
read.dta, pero como tiene 28 variables y casi medio millon de individuos,
cuando pruebo a hacer graficas o algo, me sale problema
de memoria.
Entonces, una solucion es intentar pasar de STATA a CSV y luego usar el
comando fread, y finalmente cargar los datos como RData.

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

Stata files
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

Stata support in package foreign
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

reading stata files: preserving values of variables converted to factors
Hi,
I am a Stata user new to R. I am using read.dta to read a Stata file
that has variables with value labels. read.dta converts them to
factors, but seems to recode them with values from 1 to <number of
factor levels> (looking at the output of unclass(<varname>)), so the
original numerical values are lost. Using convert.factors=FALSE
preserves the values, but seems to discard
