I'm trying to read in a Stata file but I've never used this function (
read.dta). It's the only one that seems to come close to working, but I
keep getting this error:
> data<-read.dta("C:/Documents and
Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta")
Error in read.dta("C:/Documents and
Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta", :
a binary read error occurred
There's little chance the data is corrupt considering it came from my
professor and he used the data earlier. So, either I'm doing something
wrong or R just doesn't like to read in Stata files. If it's a problem with
R, how can I easily convert the file without purchasing Stata?
Thanks!
