Converting SAS Code
I wish to second this approach to learning R. I tried for several years to translate other stat programs or provide parallel analyses with R. This dabbling-in-R approach did not work . When a transferred to a research unit that could ill afford commercial software, I devoted my entire time to doing everything in R. This was a difficult learning process, but I eventually became proficient in R. The conceptual paradigm for R is only marginally commensurate with that of standard statistical software. You must immerse yourself in R to become proficient. Good luck, Joe Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> Sent by: "R-help" <r-help-bounces at r-project.org> 09/29/2017 02:09 PM To "Kevin E.

If you are coming from SAS and wish to learn R, you should forget about SAS entirely; it is ancient and convoluted. But more to the point, as others have already suggested, you will only confuse and hamstring yourself trying to convert the programming paradigms of one language into another. Better to consider the **tasks** you wish to accomplish and learn how to approach them in the new language. I would add that this especially includes learning about R's varied data structures for which there is no cognate in SAS I think (correction requested if I'm wrong about this). If this is a one-off, just finding a local resource to do the job for you might be the best approach.

Regarding point 3, as a moderator I have been helping Andrew get this
post
out to the list over the past week. His previous attempts were encoded
in
some way that the listserv rejected. He sent me the post via his gmail account and viewing the source I saw it had at least both plain test and HTML an I said it was worth a try to post it. Certainly on my mail
client
his post displays acceptably with the notice that the HTML alternative
was
removed. Kevin On 09/29/2017 09:51 AM, Michael Dewey wrote:
You might get better answers if you 1 - break this down into separate issues 2 - tell us what you want to achieve in words rather than SAS, we all read English but few of us speak SAS 3 - post in plain text not HTML as HTML mangles your post On 29/09/2017 13:47, Andrew Harmon wrote:
