similar to: importing .dta files

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

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

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

When I import a data file in stata format using read.dta, the full variable labels (e.g. variable= "inc2000"; variable label= "Total household income in year 2000"). When I then export the same data file using write.dta, the variable labels are not included in the new .dta file. Is there any way to ensure that the variable labels are maintained?

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: > library(foreign) > read.dta(auto6) Error in

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

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 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

Hi, I'm trying to load .csv file into R (3790 by 30). I'm having an odd difficulty. After I type: read.csv("niwage.csv", header = TRUE) the data appears on the screen. The last thirty or so observations appear on the screen and they have been read in correctly. However, when I type: dim(data) I see: NULL This seems odd to me--R seems to be recognizing the data but not

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.

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

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

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

Greetings!
