Hopefully it's helpful to others too!

You might have already seen this but this is a useful resource too! https://stata2r.github.io/

I am going to share this far and wide Ben. This is a great resource!

I might use R more if the help files were more user friendly. The Stata help files are really helpful. In R I need help files for the help files.

bharrap.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yeah Stata's help files truly are a marvel.

Maybe you could use the help files to figure out how you'd do it in Stata then see what ChatGPT suggests as equivalents in R

I just wiped all memory of Stata from my brain (haha)

As a Stata noob, I learnt how the data wrangling and modelling is done in Stata, thanks!

bharrap.bsky.social•48 days ago

Hah I didn't think of people using it to get an understanding of Stata!

Side-by-side comparison is always helpful! I'm curious to know what was it that you found hard in R but easier in Stata?

bharrap.bsky.social•48 days ago

Loops are far simpler in Stata than in R. I've largely gotten there now but I struggle with remembering when I should be using enquo(), quo_name(), double bangs, sym(), etc.
