Hi
Im a bit lost.
Ive imported a stata13 file. When i try to make a simple
table(region[sex=1],type[sex=1])
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
write down some condition or statement ?
I know is simple, but using the help for readstata13 didn't clarify it to
me.
Thanks for your help and time.

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".

Maybe sex is a factor and Man its label. Factors are coded internally as integers, to see it use str(sex) Rui Barradas ? Citando Juan Ceccarelli Arias <jfca283 at gmail.com>:

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.

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.

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

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 my memory. It isn't a bad alternative.

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?
