[R] Qualitative Data??(String command)
I am using the read.table function to load an Excel data set into R. It has a few variables with very long qualitative (free response typically in sentences) response that I would like to keep, but would like to limit the length of the response that R shows. Is there some sort of string or column width command I can include in the read.table function to limit the length of words used in the variables that have long responses?? I do know which variable names are the ones with the qualitative responses. Will the Rcmdr program do this for me? I know STATA has this function but I don't have it on my computer to use.

[R] Question
Hello, I have a problem that I am trying to solve and I am not sure how to do it in R. Suppose, that 16 numbers are choosen at random from 0 to 9, what's the probability that their average will be between 4 and 6. I typed the following code: set.seed(100) sample(0:9, 16, replace =TRUE) [1] 3 2 5 0 4 4 8 3 5 1 6 8 2 3 7 6 Is what I got, however I realize the set.seed function locks in the number I get every time. My question is in order to run a true random sample, wouldn't I have to use the runif function? And then deliminate the sample to show the numbers that lie between 4 and 6? If that's the case, how do I do that? Davia S. Cox 517-575-8031 cell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Human potential, though not always apparent, is there waiting to be discovered and invited forth. -William W.

[R] read.spss problem
Hello, I am having trouble reading an spss file into R. I have reset my working directory to the folder where this file is stored. This is what I've typed into R and the error message I received: + getwd() [1] /Users/daviacox/Graduate School/PLS 801 read.spss(norwil.spss) Error in read.spss(norwil.spss) : error reading portable-file dictionary In addition: Warning message: Expected variable count record Please help, I don't have SPSS on my computer (I am re-analyzing some data for a statistics project) so I can't alter the file that way.
