Hello all, I write a decision-support column for a computing magazine, Intelligent Enterprise. In my next column, I'll be revisiting a topic I wrote on 3 years ago, open-source analytical software. R is perhaps the most successful open-source analytical package. I'd like to hear from users, especially those who chose R for some other reason than that it's free, about what you're doing with R and how you think it compares with other software and especially if you're using/developing one of the graphical/spatial/Web extensions. If you are able to help, please respond by November 7 because of my deadline. Thanks, Seth -- Seth Grimes Alta Plana Corp, analytical computing & data management Intelligent Enterprise magazine (CMP), Contributing Editor grimes at altaplana.com altaplana.com 301-270-0795
For me, it is extremely easy to integrate R into a webserver where Scientists perform preprogrammed analyses and get the report they want. This integration with a web server I found to be not so easy with other software. Also, the graphical capabilities of R are unsurpassed.
