PC-Axis is a software family consisting of a number of programs for the Windows and Internet environment used to present statistical information. It is used by national and international institutions to publish statistical data.
Programs in the PC-Axis family use a particular data file format (see
the full PX-Axis
data format description or this other technical
document). The pxR package provides a set of functions
for reading and writing PC-Axis files. This will facilitate the analysis
of statistical data to the R community.
Function read.px reads a PC-Axis file from a given
location and returns an object of class px containing all
the data and metadata in the original PC-Axis file.
The single most important piece of information within a
pxobject is the data matrix, which can be extracted into a
R data.frame using function as.data.frame. For
instance,
my.px.object <- read.px("/path/to/pc-axis/file")
my.px.data <- as.data.frame(my.px.object)will create the data.frame my.px.data with the data in
the corresponding PC-Axis file.
These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
