Good day
My name is José Oscar, I'm from Mexico and I have some questions about
foreign in your write.foreig( ) function. We know that this function
generates the inputs to be able to run them or execute them in another
program like SPSS, SAS or Stata. In these cases, when creating an example
file, a matrix and using the function to execute the .sps file directly
from SPSS, I don't care or work based on the SPSS environment. With Stata
the problem does not arise, but this same problem also arises with SAS, in
that sense or question, how could I solve this? Do you have any guides or
tutorials on the correct use of the function?
I don't really understand the question. Not sure what the problem you
are seeing when you attempt to get SAS-style output. I went to the help
page for `write.foreign`:
?write.foreign
... and the Arguments section clearly shows that although "SPSS" is the
default value, that any of the other recognized values for the format of
the output would be accepted.
Perhaps you are so inexperienced with R that you don't even know how to
access the help system?
This is the code:
x<- matrix(data = sample(1:100,
100),
nrow = 10, ncol = 10)
x2<- as.data.frame(x)
write.foreign(x2, "x2_spss.txt", "x2_spss.sps", package = "SPSS")
When I changed the "package" argument to "SAS", ... I get SAS code:
* Written by R;
* write.foreign(esoph, datafile, codefile, package = "SAS") ;
PROC FORMAT;
