Import Stata 'webuse' Datasets

This package provides a Stata-style webuse() function for importing named datasets from Stata's online collection.

Package Installation

This package can be installed from R using install.packages("webuse") or from GitHub using remotes:

if(!require("remotes")){
    install.packages("remotes")
}

Code Examples

Functionality is simple. Load webuse and then access any online Stata dataset using the webuse() function. This will assign the named dataset to the .GlobalEnv (or another environment, if specified):

library("webuse")
webuse("auto")
head(auto)

webuse("uslifeexp")
head(uslifeexp)

The webuselist object contains a list of "core" Stata datasets:

str(webuselist)
