EpiData friends, One the things that was limiting me to definitely move from 3.1 to new EpiData with new epx and epz format is that I was not able to import epx/epz data form within R. Currently, from a R users list I was awere of this user made function. So now Im will try to let 3.1 go and gradually transform my files to XML based formta. If there is any R use in this list, could any help me test if it works nicely? https://github.com/daudi/Epidata-XML-to-R kind regards, Dr. Pedro Emmanuel A.

Transpose from wide to long
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 02 Aug '12

Hello, I have a parent file where all family members are represented as one observation. Some of these families are relatively large. This makes it impossible to print the information on one page. I did merge the parent file with the child file. The drawback here is that not all family members are present in the child file and we would like to include all family members on the list. To resolve this issue, I would like to create one observation per family member. Is it possible to code this in EpiData Analysis? For example: Family Mom Dad Child1 Child2 Child3 .....etc 1 2 1 A B C To: Family Mom Dad Child 1 2 1 A B C OR: Family Mom Dad Child 1 2 1 A 1 2 1 B 1 2 1 C Thanks, Renate

Re: Unable to save EpiData Entry Manager project

No, I am working on a stand-alone machine...no networking. So it's standard c drive. And the paths are correctly specified in settings. Yes, one timed backup file exists...from the previous day. Otherwise epz files were created only when I saved. You indicate one can turn on/off timed backups. How? I certainly can't find this option under settings. After 3 days the Entry Manager is still open with the still unsaved project!

I created a project using an imported Stata file and for two days have happily been editing and adding data. Of course, each case was saved when moving to another one, and the project was saved at intervals after roughly 10 cases had been worked on. Then, after a working session of some 6-8 hours without saving the project, the program is suddenly refusing to save the project. No errors are reported when saving cases, but I get this message every time I try to save the project: Unable to save project to: [path and file name] Error message: Unable to create file "[path and file name]" The path and file name are both correct. So why am I suddenly encountering this inability to save the project with the same name that it was created with? I can continue to work on the project, but I can't save my work. Of course, Entry Client does not have a "Save as" function, so trying a different name is not an option. Any suggestions?

Can anyone help me with the mailinglist itself? I only get summary mails. But I want to get each posting as each mail. How can I set this up? It is realy hard to follow the conversations/threads in the summary mails.

Paired "t" test example worked and "MANUAL" progress
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Jul '12

Dear Jamie,            It worked. Thank you so much.Dear Jens,          In the F1 help file of Epi Analysis, please incorporate it separately; The steps for Unpaired “t” test (which “means command” generates between two independent sample), In the help file we only have this line for (Unpaired) “t” test, MEANS BP /by=SMOKE   The Paired “t” test steps which Jamie has described, should also be included.. Example:* paired t-test on variables x1 and x2 gen xdiff=x1-x2means xdiff /t Our Epidata Entry and Analysis manual is developing. The Command reference is the heart of any User Manual. Another manual of (www.tbrieder.org) is also very useful but Command reference section is required. Our list has vast searchable resource (compilation of last 12 years) of “Solutions” for the common problems, the users have encountered. Hence let us work on a standard Reference manual of Epidata Entry and Analysis. Of course, the future challenges are USER manuals of EntryClient and manager also. With best wishes and regards, Dr. Shavinder Singh
