Hi Do you know some articles, papers, something than tell about comparision between R and others softwares statisticals. Thank You Ricardo -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Articles-about-comparision-between-R-and-others-softwares-tp19338210p19338210.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I am trying to get a measure of how R compares in usage as a statistical platform compared to other software. I would guess it is the most widely used among statisticians at least by virtue of it being open source. But is there any study to which I can refer? By asking this list I am not exactly adopting a rigorous approach! Best wishes John John Logsdon

I need arguments pro-S-PLUS and against SAS for a meeting I will have next week. S-Plus is (90 - 99)% compatible with R, so using S-Plus will make things much easier for everyone. But I can't use this argument. What other arguments could I use? Alberto Monteiro
