SIPP SSB files available as CSV files on SSB server
For those of you who are R users, at user request I created CSV versions of all implicates.
Sample code for R (contributed by C. Kohnen):
Since these files are in a csv format and the first row of the file contains the variable names, one would usually use
dataname = read.csv("datafilename.csv")
If you only want certain variables/columns, let say 1-2 and 17-20, use (outside of R)
cut -d , -f 1-2,17-20 datafilename.csv > smallerfile.csv
(You can pull off the variables names from the CSV by doing )
head -n 1 datafilename.csv > var_names.csv
Then in R
newdata = read.csv("smallerfile.csv")
This can be adjusted to include more columns, but just adding more
column #’s.
