Here's what it said listing the content (?). :) there are some things i have used python for instead of R, namely when i need to use some regexps on the data, (or when the operations i'm doing are complex enough that i have to loop line by line and do my thing anyway.) I am familiar with python's regexps, but from my brief look at R's regexps, they basically make you use grep, so i just stick with python.īut from the examples you give me, it seems that you should consider using R for more stuff. (first, merge file1 with the id mapping file by id, then merge the merged file1 with file2 using id2. Hm well, for the first case, pairs of files: extracting particular column out of the data R would be very good at, so yes, i'd use R.įor the second case, check out R's "merge" command - i would most definitely use R to merge the datasets. To do statistics, R is better, because R is not focused in all those other things. Would you prefer to do it in R? R is good if data you have are ready to be processed, but to get them there, Python (as universal language) is much more flexible. Or another example, two files with comparable data but using different IDs, merge them using ID mapping in another file. Just recently I needed to create files for further processing, where in given directory I needed to find pairs of files (check naming convention if pair exists), and extract some columns to create one file for further processing. that said, if you /want/ to switch to linux, and are thinking "what am i going to do for my data analysis", then R is a very good choice. also note that R does have a bit of a learning curve to it (although there are R guis to help one through). I'm curious - since R is a full-fledged programming language in itself, what is the benefit of using rpy anyway? i am not sure i see the point of using rpy, when one can just as (more?) easily just use R? or are there particular types of problems where using R natively would not be as efficient?Īnd now for my on-topic comment: pmasiar is right, you don't need to switch operating systems in order to use R, it's just as possible to use it from win as from lin. Offtopic, but since you brought it up, i thought i might as well ask :) To get extra date, you can teach her Python and RPy to simplify data processing :-)

Still better get used to Free R than to be shackled by non-free software.

She can use R on Windows now, and switch to Linux later when ready. You have to load the foreign library first:Īlso, to get help on specifics of any command, try the "?": Warning: /home/ovis/egyetem/ESS_2005.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype PSPP> get /FILE='/home/ovis/egyetem/ESS_2005.sav'. I tried also PSPP but it couldn't open it, i don't know why. maybe i am wrong but it seems for me, that its not even that i typed something wrong, but the function doesn't work at all here. I looked a bit after it, and checked if i have the recommended package, and installed foreign package to see what happens but it occurred that it is already installed, so i don't know what did i do wrong. Read.spss(file("/home/ovis/egyetem/ESS_2005.sav", encoding="latin1"))Įrror: could not find function "read.spss" Type this read.table(file("file.dat", encoding="latin1")) So anyway, is there anyone who's using PSPP in ubuntu? or R? how can i find it if it's not in the applications, but i already installed it?Ĭan i open an spss data file (*.sav) with R? how? it's mass education, that's what they can do. (also because i am not really good in spss, and how they teach it in school is a bit like copy-pasting all the time, so they give routine but not really knowledge. sav files both ways (opening it and saving it like that) without loosing any data on the way of transformation:)Īnd it would be also good if i could use the same language that i am used to in spss syntax. One of the most important thing is that it should be somehow compatible with. I am also thinking about using PSPP that must be very similar to SPSS. I installed R-base (from the terminal) but i am too new at the whole thing (i mean dealing with linux generally) and now i don't find where did this put it. Also because i can only get SPSS for each half year. (i have to send always syntax and output files to the teachers so i can't really change this)īut on the other hand i am a bit fed up with windows so i decided looking for something else.

for free from the univ, but i use ubuntu mostly, so at one side i also have windows on my computer only for this. I have to use SPSS at university, and i can get it temp.
