You need to (re-)read the "Introduction to R" document that comes with R. R Is
not Stata, and you should not expect R to look syntactically like Stata.
Note that if you, against normal R convention, wish to manipulate the integers
that a factor is implemented with, you can create such a variable using
as.integer( sex ), but beware that bad data or changes made to the factor
definition before your analysis step will render your assumptions about
specific integer values invalid. For example the order of levels for sex might
go c("M","F") or c("F","M") so 1 could mean different things based on decisions
made elsewhere.
