Write responses to SPSS or Stata with the labels attached

A plain CSV carries codes. dm_1 arrives in SPSS as a column of integers with no variable label and no value labels, and the reader has to reconstruct all of it from the questionnaire. This attaches both from the instrument: the variable label is the item's label, and the value labels come from the item's choice set, which stores its values and labels side by side.

Usage

sframe_export_labelled(data, instrument, path)

Arguments

data

A response data frame, as returned by read_responses().

instrument

The sframe the responses were collected with.

path

Output file. An .sav is written for SPSS, a .dta for Stata, chosen from the extension.

Value

The path, invisibly.
