Hi, everyone.
I've had several requests for help on loading data and other
basic R stuff related to your papers. If you need help, please
come to OH -- Tuesdays from 3-5pm, or by appoinment. I can't do
this stuff over email.
Also, those of you with large datasets have realized that you
can't use Windows R for your replication assignment. You'll
need to use the servers if you have a lot of data. If your data
is so large that you exceed your unix account quota, you can ask
FAS directly for an increase to 200MB and can ask your
department administrators (Thom Wall or the equivalent) for an
increase to 400MB.
If you have data that's tab-delimited, space-delimited, comma
separated, SPSS or STATA data, you can read your data directly
into R following the directions in Zelig Chapter 3, section 2.2.
If your data is in another format, you need to convert your data
using DBMS copy, which is available in the HMDC and CBRSS
computer labs.
Yours,
Olivia Lau
