Actually, I just found exactly what you want. Before that though, I am having a hard time finding any such cool job despite having even had classes with some great professors in economics at UND, and so I work in a completely non data related thing. Here is exactly what you want, code included.

Re: [R] Variable labels

Hi Steven, You make great sense wanting to have labels for your variables. When in RStudio, the little arrow beside "mydata" in the Environment tab can be clicked and you see all the variables there. And so you would like to see a description under the variable names. Here is one way to

Re: [R] Variable labels

Thanks. What I need “appears” simple. The .RData file is provided by a third party (likely converted from a different data format such as SAS in which variable labels (not value labels) are common). When I load the binary file, in the “environment” I see, as expected, a data frame showing how

Re: [R] Variable labels

Hi, I am sorry but I don't understand your question, Generally, "clicking" is not something you can assume to be implemented for anything in R. However, if you read the manual for the package https://gdemin.github.io/expss/ you get an example at the bottom where an illustration of how the

Re: [R] Variable labels and value labels

I am not sure this is relevant or helpful, but see ?abbreviate, which one can use to abbreviate long strings as labels (but only for English-like languages, I believe). -- Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." --

[R] Variable labels and value labels

Hi All, I am using R for social sciences. In this field I am used to use short variable names like "q1" for question 1, "q2" for question 2 and so on and label the variables like q1 : "Please tell us your age" or q2 : "Could you state us your household income?" or something similar indicating

Hi,   I'm using write.table() to export dataframe to Excel. All works fine except that I want to export the variable labels instead of variable names.  I can see the labels in the R consol using attr(), but I just don't know how to use the labels instead of the names. Thanks, François

[R] variable labels to accompany data.frame

Often it is useful to keep a codebook to document the contents of a dataset. (By dataset I mean a rectangular structure such as a dataframe.) The codebook has as many rows as the dataset has columns (variables, fields). The columns (fields) of the codebook may include: •

Re: [R] variable labels to accompany data.frame

I find that Harrell's describe ( Hmisc) provides some of that desired functionality. When I am creating a paper codebook I will print the results of describe function fro a dataframe to create an overview snapshot and will post a copy of str(dfname) on the wall. As his help page says:
