Hello How do you compare R to SAS in terms of speed and management of large datasets? What about Revolution R? I've seen on their site, they claim that Revolution R is much faster than R and it's multithread... Can you really notice the difference?. What dissadvantage does it have? I think it's based on R 2.10. but R already issued the version 2.12 Regards What alternative to R would you use in order to merge asynchronus time series?. SAS, Stata, eViews...? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-vs-SAS-and-Revolution-R-tp2261149p2261149.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
it really depends on how you define "large dataset". In a corporate production environment, it is not unusual to do data manipulation for x-G dataset. In this case, SAS might be preferred from my personal experience.

When the version 2.12 is issued? Is it available for download (windows version)? Currently I am using the version 2.11.1 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of skan Sent: 19 June 2010 19:10 To: r-help at r-project.org Subject: [R] R vs SAS and Revolution R Hello How do you compare R to SAS in terms of speed and management of large datasets?

Regarding R and REvolution, there was a post published recently comparing the two: http://www.r-bloggers.com/comparing-standard-r-with-revoutions-for-performance/ Regarding the rest, I don't know...
