Hello
I read data with fortran format:
mydata<-read.fortran('foo.txt',
c("4F10.4","F8.3","3F3.0","20F2.0"))
colnames(mydata)<-c("q1","q2","q3","q4","income","hhsize",
"weekend","dietk","quart1","quart2","quart3","male","age35",
"age50","age65","midwest","south","west","nonmetro",
"suburb","black","asian","other","hispan","hhtype1",
"hhtype2","hhtype3","emp_stat")
dstat(mydata,digits=6)
I produced the following sample statistics for the first 4
variables (q1,q2,q3,q4):
Mean Std.dev Min Max Obs
q1 0.000923 0.002509 0 0.035245 5649
q2 0.000698 0.001681 0 0.038330 5649
q3 0.000766 0.002138 0 0.040100 5649
q4 0.000373 0.001140 0 0.026374 5649
The correct sample statistics are:
Variable| Mean Std.Dev. Minimum Maximum
--------+----------------------------------------------------
Q1| 9.227632 25.09311 0.0 352.4508
Q2| 6.983078 16.80984 0.0 383.2995
Q3| 7.657381 21.38337 0.0 400.9950
Q4| 3.727952 11.40446 0.0 263.7398
INCOME| 16.01603 13.70296 0.0 100.0
HHSIZE| 2.586475 1.464282 1.0 16.0
In other words, values for q1-q4 were scaled down by a factor of 10,000.
My raw data look like (with proper format)
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 48.108...
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 11.640...
35.3450 0.0000 95.7656 0.0000 4.667...
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 9.000...
84.0000 4.8038 0.0000 3.1886 2.923...
0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 1.1636 10.000...
0.0000 10.7818 109.7884 0.0000 17.000...
0.0000 7.9528 0.0000 4.7829 35.000...
True that the data here are space delimited. But I need to read data
elsewhere where data are not space delimited.
Any idea/suggestion would be appreciated.
