Does anybory knows any work comparing R with other (charged) statistical softwares (like Minitab, SPSS, SAS)? I work in a brasilian government bureau and I intend to use R as our preferable statistical software, but I have to show it's as good as the others. I also intend to use Weka, and for this one I have the same problem. Can anyone help me? Thanks René M. Raupp e-mail: rener@mpdft.gov.br rene.raupp@terra.com.br [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

You can search on this forum for different discussions on this topic. Also, there are 2 somehow outdated publications comparing different software including SAS, SPSS and S-Plus, which might be of some use for you. The references are: McCullough, B. D. (1998), "Assessing the reliability of statistical software: Part I", The American Statistician, 52, 358-366. McCullough, B. D. (1999), "Assessing the reliability of statistical software: Part II", The American Statistician, 53,149-159.
