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(

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. On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 4:11 PM, wrote: > So you should do > > table(region[sex=="Hombre"],type[se

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 variabl

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". On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 12:39 PM, wrote: > Hello, > > Try instead > > table(region[sex==1],type[sex==1])
