I would like to use Stata and get results from analyses into R (as a data frame in R, for manipulation there). Stata can return various results for postestimations and manipulations (-return list-), but what would be the easiest way to get a matrix from Stata into R?

This is an old question, as shown by this thread on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...on-result-to-r, but I believe so far with no good answer.

Does anyone have any recent experience with such a procedure, and maybe a recommendation? I assume one option might be to use -putexcel-, and then read those excel data into R. But maybe there's a better solution out there.

(-Rcall- would not solve my problem. I need to run code from R or at the very least import results from Stata into R as a dataframe. I run all analyses and documentation from within R/RStudio, using the knitr package. Stata is currently used for initial data management only, but I'd like to add the option to let Stata do some analyses.)
