For the initial data step, assuming a data frame named stress already exists, and using base R, you can start with something like this: barcodes.to.delete <- c('16187DD4015', '16187DD6002', {complete the comma-delimited vector of barcodes you don't want} ) yield <- subset(stress, !(barcode

Hi, I would echo Bert's comments below. The last thing that you want to try to do is to convert SAS code to R code on a "line for line" basis. The programming paradigm of R, which is built upon vectorized operations, takes a "whole object" approach for efficiency. SAS does not, since it is gen

I wish to second this approach to learning R. I tried for several years to translate other stat programs or provide parallel analyses with R. This dabbling-in-R approach did not work . When a transferred to a research unit that could ill afford commercial software, I devoted my entire time

I will offer an opinion, with which others may fairly take issue. If you are coming from SAS and wish to learn R, you should forget about SAS entirely; it is ancient and convoluted. But more to the point, as others have already suggested, you will only confuse and hamstring yourself trying to conv

Hello, in my experience the most direct path of converting SAS code to R is by using dplyr. dplyr provides the filter function, the first part of your code could look like this, assuming your datasets are stored as data.frames: library(dplyr) yield <- filter(stress, field != "YV", field !=

[R] Converting SAS Code

Hello all, My statistical analysis training up until this point has been entirely done in SAS. The code I frequently used was: *Yield Champagin; data yield; set stress; if field='YV' then delete; if field='HB' then delete; if barcode='16187DD4015' then delete; if barcode='16187DD6002' then
