set to FALSE to prevent integer-valued
variables from being converted from storage mode double to
integer
a vector of characters allowed by R that should not be converted to periods in variable names. By default, underscores in variable names are converted to periods as with R before version 1.9.
set to TRUE to change character variables to
factors if they have fewer than n/2 unique values. Blanks and null
strings are converted to NAs.
arguments passed to read.dta.
A data frame
stata.get invokes the read.dta function in the
foreign package to read an STATA file, with a default output
format of data.frame. The label function is used to
attach labels to individual variables instead of to the data frame as
done by read.dta. By default, integer-valued variables are
converted to a storage mode of integer unless
force.single=FALSE. Date variables are converted to R
Date variables. By default, underscores in names are converted to periods.
