Most spreadsheets can be converted to CSV (comma-separated values) files, which are recommended for use with R. Data manipulation the fast way in R. However, by way of the foreign package, a variety of alternative data files can be imported, such as ones generated in SPSS. The SPSS plugin allows direct use of the active SPSS data by R code, and the textual and graphical R output appears in the normal SPSS output viewer. I agree with Matt Yglesias about 60% of the time, which, for me, is pretty high. Data management and manipulation in R. For those who are learning R and who may be well-versed in SQL, the sqldf package provides a mechanism to manipulate R data frames using SQL. But Matt, like so many liberals, is particularly hot on the issue of global warming, which is one place where we part company. I think of myself as an intermediate user (i.e., I can comfortably handle canned packages but want a bit more control than the default settings allow) so the type of info I find are not too helpful. This removes columns 3 and 4 from the original data set “data” (which incidentally is still stored within R's memory as a separate object because all the data manipulation has been stored under new names each time, i.e. Smith went on to state that the corresponding authors of manuscripts would be held responsible and punished by the journal for any manipulation of data, although no specifics were given for what sort of punishment would be doled out: In some of the cases that we have investigated further, the Corresponding Author case was a travesty—a complete disgrace. As with other programming languages, variables can be thought of as containers that store information and allow it to be manipulated. Below are examples demonstrating how to import data R concerns the use of variables. Here's the materials I used for teaching a module on R for the Genes to Geoscience Research Enrichment Program. (This article was originally published at mages' blog, and syndicated at StatsBlogs.) I really should make it a habit of using data.table . I hope Smith sticks to his guns. Users can design SPSS syntax for R R's capacity to handle large amounts of data is still limited, so having SAS do the heavy lifting in terms of manipulating the data and having R do some of the graphics and statistics makes sense, and can be a win-win for both camps. Even for experienced R programmers, sqldf can be a useful tool for data Road District Length ## 1 Interstate 65 Greenfield 262 ## 2 Interstate 70 Vincennes 156 ## 3 US-36 Crawfordsville 139 ## 4 US-40 Greenfield 150 ## 5 US-52 Crawfordsville 172.
