Convert the export prepared in R and export it to SPSS (sav), Stata (dta) or SAS (xpt version 8) using the haven package.
write_secuTrial(object, ...)
# S3 method for secuTrialdata
write_secuTrial(object, format = "dta", metadata = FALSE, ...)
# S3 method for data.frame
write_secuTrial(df, filename, path = "", format = "dta", ...)secuTrialdata object
further parameters
format in which to save the export (one of "dta", "sav", "xpt")
if TRUE then metadate files will also be written
a data.frame
file name
directory where the files should be saved
a list of filenames
Due to variable naming limitations in other packages, date variables are
appended with _d (rather than _date), datetime/POSIX variables are appended
with _dt (rather than _datetime) and factors with _f (rather than _factor).
Further variable names may be altered in the conversion process.
For details please refer to the haven documentation.
