Dear R-help list,
I'm new to R. I tried to get R to read a Stata data file using the
read.dta function in the package "foreign", which I downloaded and
extracted to "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.2\library" on my pc.
I tried
> nora <- read.dta("nora.dta")
and got
Error: could not find function "read.dta"
I guess "foreign" needs to be installed. How do you do this?
