Hi All,
Wanted to report what may be a bug or possibly an oversight, but I am unsure,
in the "foreign" packages in the read.spss() command,
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/foreign/index.html. When running the
following code,
input <- read.spss("[.sav file location]", to.data.frame = TRUE)
str(input)
The read.spss() seems to be applying addNA() to factors so NA is being set as a
level, and there seems to be no way to get read.spss() to bring factors in
without doing this. This seems to be a recent change as read.spss() was not
doing this as of a few months ago. None of the arguments in read.spss() seem to
also stop this behaviour. I am currently on the most recent version of both R
and the package, as of 27/05/21, and am using RStudio Version 1.4.1106.
Any thoughts?
Many Thanks,
Justin Allen
p.s. your continued maintenance and additions to R and its packages have been
infinitely useful in my work and life and thank for that.
