R help - Aug 2004 - How does R vary from SAS?

Hello

I have to show that R has more functionality than SAS for MonteCarlo type
exercises involving matrix algebra. As I has little experience with SAS is
anyone able to help. I have a model written in R but the IT world in this
company is not familiar with R and wants to use something like SAS.

thanks

I'd ask for help to rewrite your simulation in SAS.  If it's easy,
then you don't have much of an argument; if it's hard, you do.

If you can't get anyone to help you write your simulation in SAS, then
that in itself should be an argument for R:  you've got it now, and
won't have it if SAS is a requirement.
