Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[Juan Ceccarelli Arias]

I solved this problem using the
nonint.factors=F,generate.factors=F)
when i imported the dta files.
Thanks to all. My issue can be declared as solved.

Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[Robert Baer]

There has been some good advice not to lose the labels, but perhaps this 
gets you where you seem determined to go?


?read.dta

read.dta(file, convert.dates = TRUE, convert.factors = TRUE,
 missing.type = FALSE,
 convert.underscore = FALSE, warn.missing.labels = TRUE)

or

library(readstata13)

?read.dta13

read.dta13(file, convert.factors = TRUE, generate.factors = FALSE,
  encoding = NULL, fromEncoding = NULL, convert.underscore = FALSE,
  missing.type = FALSE, convert.dates = TRUE, replace.strl = FALSE,
  add.rownames = FALSE, nonint.factors = FALSE)

Perhaps the convert. factors setting at FALSE?

Yep. Im a bit stalled.
I can't find the option to import only the values and drop the value labels
from the dta file.
Im quite sure R can do that. Then i'd only used the values and i'd rely on

Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

You can use

as.numeric(sex)

to get numeric values for factor variable. This is sometimes handy for plotting.

However if you throw away labels how do you know what naumber belongs to which 
factor level?

Cheers
Petr

Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[Juan Ceccarelli Arias]

Mmm...The other option working with  R for importing the dta file but
obtaining the values and deleting or ignoring the value labels.
I think some time ago i did that, but now i can't remember it.

So you should do

table(region[sex=="Hombre"],type[sex=="Hombre"]

str(sex)

__Hi
Im a bit lost.
Ive imported a stata13 file. When i try to make a simple

i get something as
          type1 type2
region1 0 0
region2 0 0
region3 0 0

I don't know how to operate with the value labels.
Sex is defined as 1 as "Man" and 2 as "Female".
And region1 is 1, region2 is 2 and so on.
So, how can i make reference to the value and not the value labels when i

I know is simple, but using the help for readstata13 didn't clarify it to

Thanks for your help and time.

Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[Jeff Newmiller]

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.

Maybe sex is a factor and Man its label. Factors are coded internally  
as integers, to see it use

str(sex)

Re: [R] Importint stata file and using value labels

[Juan Ceccarelli Arias]

Nop. I didn't work. But using the following it does work.
table(region[sex=="Men"],type[sex=="Men"])
When i use the dta file with stata i declare the condition with sex==1 and
not sex=="Man".
