*Dear R community*

* *

*I have two questions on data subsample manipulation. I am starting to use R
again after a long brake  and feel a bit rusty.*

* *

*I want to select a subsample of data for males and females separately*

* *



library(foreign)

Datatemp  <- read.spss("H:/Skjol/Data/HL/t1and2b.sav", use.value.labels = F)






> table(Datatemp$sex)



   1    2

3049 3702



> attributes(Datatemp)

…

$names

 [1] "nomiss"        "Bin"           "rad09"         "year"
"sex"
"income"        "adults"

 [8] "children"      "student"       "retired"       "disabled"
"homemaker"     "unemployed"    "employed"

[15] "occupation"    "residencysize" "educ"          "agemean"
"age"
"marital"



$codepage

[1] 1252



> MalesData <- Datatemp[Datatemp $sex==1]

> MalesData

named list()

> attributes(MalesData)

$names

character(0)




Females.Data <- Datatemp[Datatemp $sex==2]







*This subset extraction is not working. Is there anyone who can tell me what
I did wrong?*

* *

* *

*A different but related question is the use of the function paste or if I
need another function to do the following: *

* *

* *

*Rather than this*:



> m2 <- gee( Bin ~  agemean +  year,  id = rad09 , data = datause ,
subset=kyn== 1 ,

           family =  binomial, corstr ="exchangeable" )







*I want to do this (modified in  a loop). *





> subsampl <- "kyn== 1 "



> m2 <- gee( Bin ~  agemean +  year,  id = rad09 , data = datause ,
subset=paste(subsampl) ,

           family =  binomial, corstr ="exchangeable" )



Beginning Cgee S-function, @(#) geeformula.q 4.13 98/01/27

Error in gee(Bin ~ agemean + year, id = rad09, data = datause, subset =
paste(subsampl),  :

  rank-deficient model matrix







*I hope you can see what I want to do, but I think I may need other function
than paste()*

*
*

*I appreciate a lot any help. *
