Producing efficient data files using Stat/Transfer
Authors: Leslie-Anne Keown
Overview
Abstract (English)
Large data sets present several challenges to researchers, particularly to less experienced researchers. One of the most time-consuming and frustrating activities for beginning researchers, who do not have experience with large datasets, can be pruning or parsing the data set to only the variables and sample of interest. The production of an “efficient” data file can assist in the increased performance of hardware and software as well as reducing frustration for the researcher. One way of producing a parsed efficient data file using a program called Stat/Transfer is presented.
