Question about using psidR
Hi
I am trying the psid R package via R studio. I ran into an error message " Error in get.psid(family[i, "file"], name = paste0(datadir, "FAM", family[i, : no longer logged in "
I tried several times with different tests provided on the website. I still got the same error. It did ask me to log in the PSID using my account , however, it just stopped working afterwards.
Here is the code I wrote:
myvars=data.frame(year=c(2001,2003), house.value=c("ER17044", "ER21043"), education=c("ER20457", "ER24148")) indvars=data.frame(year=c(2001,2003), longitud.wgt=c("ER33637", "ER33740")) d=build.panel(datadir=NULL, fam.vars=myvars, ind.var=indvars)
Do you know why is that?
Thank you very much!
just pushed a new readme. can you try what's here: https://github.com/floswald/psidR#quick-start
your example seems to be running fine for me. maybe there is an issue with the temp file on your system.

Hi Floswald
Thanks for the reply. I tried the example you posted. However, still got the same error. Do you think there might be an connection issue with the PSID data base?
Thanks Chan

Yes. I am in China and I use the VPN to browse the international websites. I could download data from the PSID.

Could be. Are you behind the Chinese firewall maybe?

I see . At that point this is my best guess given that in my side your example works. Sorry can't help more this as I'm not an expert here. You could look at the source code for function getPSID and see if you can feed it a proxy?
Or you download manually the data in ASCII format into your datadir and avoid having to download with the package!
But then I have to also manually merge the individual and family datasets if I do not use your package. Or you refer to something different?

Oh no, for sure the merge will be done by the package ! You do everything as before, but instead of NULL you give the datadir argument the location of the data. Must download full family files for each year interested in plus the individual index file
