Re: [R] Numeric class and sasxport.get

Ok, just so as I get that straight, is the 'labelled' class something that you created in your package or a readily available class in base R? *Sebastien Bihorel, PharmD, PhD* PKPD Scientist Cognigen Corp Email: sebastien.biho...@cognigencorp.com mailto:sebastien.biho...@cognigencorp.com

Re: [R] Numeric class and sasxport.get

Thanks a lot Frank, One last question, though. I was tempted to remove all attributes of my variables after the sasxport.get call using foo - sasxport.get(...) foo - as.data.frame(lapply(unclass(foo),as.vector)) Since I never worked with the objects of class 'labeled', I was wondering what I

Re: [R] Numeric class and sasxport.get

I also realized the flaw after testing the script on various datasets... Following up on your last note: 1- Is that the reason why the class of integer and regular numeric variable is solely labelled following sasxport.get? 2- Can class be 'soft' for other 'kind' of variables? 3- Would you
