Stata to R (and vice versa) conversion

======================================

This project aims to provide simple code fragments for everyday data analysis

tasks in Stata and in R. The ultimate goal is to make conversion between the

two software packages easier.

The inspiration for this project is the [Data Analysis Examples](http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/dae/)

website made by the Statistical Consulting Group at UCLA. 

Structure and naming conventions

--------------------------------

The tasks are structured in the following four categories:

1. Reading/writing data

2. Data munging (recoding/cleaning)

3. Computing statistical models

4. Presenting results

There is a "standalone" and a "short" example for each task. The standalone

example contains all the necessary commands to run the example (reading 

data, loading addons, etc.). The short example is just the code for the

specific task (the standalone code without preparatory/unrelated steps).

The standalone code can be in the Rmd format. This allows for nicer

explanations of what the code does than comments in the script files.

The file naming follows the scheme:

* adding-vars.{do,md}

* adding-vars-short.do

* adding-vars.{r,Rmd}

* addings-vars-short.r

Data

----

The data on [European Representative Democracies](http://www.erdda.se/index.php/projects/erd/data-archive) that is used in all the

examples is compiled and kindly made available by Staffan Andersson, Torbjörn

Bergman and Svante Ersson. The full citation is:

We have made some preliminary data cleaning steps mainly annotating 

variables with their names from the codebook. The relevant scripts are

in the `data-prep` folder.

Authors

-------

Code was either written by Marco Steenbergen or by Christian Müller.

Christian Müller maintains the git repository.
