I remember in one slide of Prof. Ripley's presentation overhead, he said the most popular data analysis software is excel. So is there any resource or tutorial on this topic? Thank you so much!

An excellent source of information about the incompetence of Excel as a statistical package can be found on Jonathan Cryer's web page at http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~jcryer/JSMTalk2001.pdf Some incredible howlers from their ``help'' pages are given, as are a number of useful references. (None from the biological literature however. If David Paul could dig up the reference mentioned by his biologist friend, it would be useful.) cheers, Rolf Turner rol...

Hello all... I am really new to statistics and I am trying to figure out a way to apply Chauvenet's criterion using the t-distribution on a set of numbers in perl. I was unable to find a TDIST and TINV function for perl. I am getting these functions from Excel. So, I figured that I would install R and call it from perl, overkill for what I need I know. I am having a hard time figuring

I just have a simple question. I'm using the predict function, and I get about 1000 values. Now, how would I make it into a data frame or a list so that I can easily use Excel to graph the data? Right now, it's in horizontal lines, and it would be a pain to copy and paste and make it into a vertical column. Thanks! -- View this message in context:

Given that we occasionally run into problems with comparing Excel results to R results, and other spreadsheet-induced errors, I thought this might be of interest. http://www.nextnewdeal.net/rortybomb/researchers-finally-replicated-reinhart-rogoff-and-there-are-serious-problems The punchline: "If this error turns out to be an actual mistake Reinhart-Rogoff made, well, all I can hope is that

Dear R users, I have started work in a Statistics government department and I am trying to convince my bosses to install R on our computers (I can't do proper stats in Excel!!). They asked me to prove that this is a widely used software (and not just another free-source, bug infected toy I found on the web!) by suggesting other big organisations that use it. Are you aware of any reputable
