Of course, if you want to take the time to code and validate a Cox PH or mixed effects model in F# and then run them against R's coxph() or lme()/lmer() functions to test the timing, feel free... :-) So unless there is a pre-existing library of statistical and related functionality for F#, perhaps you need to reconsider your query.

Compiled code should run faster than R, but is reliable? Compiled code should run faster than R, but have 2.440 packages for extend your capacities? Compiled code should run faster than R, but critical code is in C o FORTRAN So I think the F# is not a good alternative, if your concern is velocity dou you look Littler http://code.google.com/p/littler/ -- Bernardo Rangel Tura, M.D,MPH,Ph.D National Institute of Cardiology Brazil
