In dusadrian/DDIwR: DDI with R
DDIwR
DDI with R
Description
This is a package to collect data and metadata from a variety of
sources, and convert those into some of the most popular statistical
packages: Stata, SAS, SPSS, and naturally R.
The biggest strength of this package is its ability to convert to and
from a DDI (Data Documentation Initiative)
Codebook.
Handling missing values
The problem of the missing values is was a recurrent one in
R, with various solutions having been implemented in various places. The
base package offers a single (empty, undeclared) type of missing value,
the NA.
In many sciences, however, there are multiple reasons for missing
values, and those are not covered by the NA.
A dedicated package was written to solve this, called
declared,
which is used by DDIwR.
Graphical user interface
Package DDIwR benefits from a cross-platform GUI called
StatConverter. It is similar to
a popular commercial software, but built on top of R.
Windows users can already download the setup installer (including R,
embedded in the application), or download a .zip file containing all
application files to start the application without installing it. More
versions for different other operating systems will soon be added.
