[R] Assistance with data import from Statistica

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R.  I
can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav
format.  Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will
allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of
time to replace all this work).

Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.

Re: [R] Assistance with data import from Statistica

oops , sorry i'm misreading you mean statistica not stata.
So i only have the notice that  the command-line utility
dataload is very usefuel.

One possible download is here:
http://www.steepturns.com/filedown/dataload.zip

,but i remember there exist a newer version which
could handle  *.Rdata files, too , but isn't downloadable from the original 
site at present!?

cheers, christian

What about using a database? (or ASCII files if nothing else works...)

I suspect that was what Steve was trying to avoid...

According to our documentation, read.spss *should* be able to read
.por files:

    'read.spss' reads a file stored by the SPSS 'save' and 'export'
     commands and returns a list.

(and EXPORT is the SPSS for creating portable files).

Whether this is actually true and whether it also applies to labels,
should be worth an experiment to find out... Our code is based on the
PSPP code by Ben Pfaff and that seems to have deciphered the file
format ( http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/pspp_toc.html )
pretty well, but we may not have lifted enough of the code for
portable files.

Action speaks louder than words:

> x <- read.spss("tate96.por")
> names(x)[1:10]
 [1] "ID"       "EMPLYEE"  "SMSKEY"   "SMSTZONE" "SMSSTATE" "SMSCNTY"
 [7] "SMSCD"    "SMSMSA"   "SMSREP"   "SMSSTRTA"
> attr(x,"variable.labels")[1:10]
                                        ID
              "Pre-election Respondent ID"
                                   EMPLYEE
             "Pre-election Interviewer ID"
                                    SMSKEY
                         "Sample Record $"
                                  SMSTZONE
                  "Pre-election Time Zone"

Re: [R] Assistance with data import from Statistica


Unfortunately the dataload web site is down because
dataload is no longer longer being offered.  There is
a commercial offering called Stat Transfer (see
www.stattransfer.com) but I have never used it so don't
know more.

[R] I can't make .C(...) web-page example.


Hi everyone!

I'm trying to lear how to call external C code in R but even the R help
web-page example is drive me crazy.

I copy-paste the example at:

http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-patched/doc/manual/R-exts.html#Interface%20functions%20.C%20and%20.Fortran

here is the example:

void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab)
{
  int i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1;

  for(i = 0; i < nab; i++)
    ab[i] = 0.0;
  for(i = 0; i < *na; i++)
    for(j = 0; j < *nb; j++)
      ab[i + j] += a[i] * b[j];
}

called from R by

conv <- function(a, b)
  .C("convolve",
     as.double(a),
     as.integer(length(a)),
     as.double(b),
