ws2foreign | R Documentation |
This function converts data from one format to another within MLwiN, via
MLwiN macro language. The foreign
package allows R to read data files
for most of these formats.
ws2foreign(wsfile, foreignfile, MLwiNPath = NULL, x64 = NULL)
wsfile |
A file name specifying the data file (with a specific extension) to be converted. |
foreignfile |
A file name specifying the data file (with a specific extension) after conversion. |
MLwiNPath |
A path to the MLwiN folder. By default, |
x64 |
A logical value indicating whether the 64 bit version of MLwiN is
used, the default for this is determined by the version of R used. If
|
MLwiN supports conversion between MLwiN (*.wsz, *.ws), Minitab (*.mtw), SAS (*.xpt), SPSS (*.sav), and Stata (*.dta) files.
The converted data file (with a specific extension) will be saved to the file
specified by foreignfile
.
