Menu.exportTab {RcmdrPlugin.DoE} | R Documentation |
This help file describes the design exporting options. Default choices are no exporting for design generation forms or exporting an html file and an rda file, when separately calling the export routine.
rda
file is generated,rda
file and an html
file are generated, rda
file and a csv
file are generated.html
file is recommended. After the experiment has been carried out, the data
can be stored as csv
and reimported into R, where they can be processed
using the structural information from the design, if the stored rda
file
is also provided. OutDec
option of the R system, the other choices explicity determine the decimal separator.
If chosen correctly, the html file can be opened in Excel with decimal numbers
read as such; furthermore, decimal separator “,” is taken to also mean
separator “;”, i.e. csv
files also use the matching separator
(decimal separator comma goes with separator semicolon and corresponds to read.csv2
,
decimal separator point goes with separator comma and corresponds to read.csv
).
The purpose of exporting to html
or csv
format is the possibility
to edit response data outside of R, e.g. for persons without access to R who
conduct the experiment.
The resulting edited data file can be stored in
csv
format and re-imported into R. If re-importing is done with the
appropriate menu item in the Import sub menu of the Design menu,
providing the stored rda
file along with the edited data file,
all structural information stored with the design is available.
If users prefer to store the edited data file in a format different from
csv
, the data can be re-imported in two steps: First, the
edited data file must be imported with R-Commanders Data management
menu. Afterwards, the response information can be added to the design using the
menu item Add response variable(s) ... from the sub menu Modify design
of the menu Design
.
