...(demo program below). I've Googled about and looked in several books for comparisons of the two approaches but haven't found anything. Are there any particular advantages or disadvantages to these two approaches? If you were teaching R beginners, which would you present? Thanks, Bob http://RforSASandSPSSusers.com # R Program to Read Data Within a Program. # Very similar to SAS datalines or cards statements, # and SPSS BEGIN DATA / END DATA commands. # This stores the data as one long text string. mystring <- "workshop,gender,q1,q2,q3,q4 01,1,f,1,1,5,1 02,2,f,2,1,4,1 03,1,f,2,2,4,3 04,2,...

...s=books&qid=1217456813&sr=8-1> R Book The technical review- The book is lucid, exhaustive and lists down all reasons for and against R in an objective scientific manner. It goes in great detail, has ready datasets and offers the earlier reference sheet from its websites ( http://RforSASandSPSSusers.com <http://rforsasandspssusers.com/>). At 50 $ it is not expensive considering the cost of other textbooks in this domain. Having both SAS and SPSS can be a distraction as many SPSS users actually use its click and point interface rather than write raw syntax- perhaps those screenshots s...

...have substantially expanded the table that compares SAS and SPSS add-on modules to somewhat equivalent R packages. This new version is at: http://r4stats.com/add-on-modules and I would very much appreciate any feedback you might have on it. The site http://r4stats.com is the replacement to http://RforSASandSPSSusers.com and includes the support files for both "R for SAS and SPSS Users" and the new "R for Stata Users", due out in March from Springer. I'll phase the older site out eventually and change the URL to point to the new one. Thanks, Bob =====================================...

R and its GUI Rattle helped me establish a data mining consulting startup on my own, without taking bank credit . People I met on the forum and especially books like rforsasandspssusers.com/ <http://rforsasandspssusers.com/> helped me ease the transition to the new Object Oriented method from the earlier - even a monkey can create shakespeare if he types enough kind of analytics software. .Since I am in India , the cost differences can cause almost a digital divide in...

Hi: For those of you who are adept at both SAS and R, I have the following questions: a) What are some reasons / tasks for which you would use R over SAS and vice versa? b) What are some things for which R is a must have that SAS cannot fulfill the requirements? I am on the ramp up on both of them. The general feeling that I am getting by following this group is that R updates to the product are

Hi, Bob Muenchen's book is now out on release. Its terrific for a step by step tutorial for doing stuff in R, even if all you know is SAS and SPSS. Check this out here http://rforsasandspssusers.com/ and at http://www.amazon.com/SAS-SPSS-Users-Statistics-Computing/dp/0387094172/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217456813&sr=8-1 Regards, Ajay www.decisionstats.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

...onths ago & the number was still in the high 2,000s, so it must be fairly recent. I think this represents about 50% growth in the last year. Not bad! Does anyone have a program that graphs the growth of R packages? I don't know if that historical data is around.

Hi, I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. However, I am new to R. What would be the best way to learn R as I would be one of the few in my team started exploring R in your team. I have got a few downloads on R introduction, but I am not a FAN of online reading. Can some one guide me with some books on R and statistical models using R. Sincere thanks.... And

Dear All, Has anyone tried to use this plug-in? Since I am running R-2.9.1 it will not even let me install it. Further, since I am running Windows I cannot use the R provided R-2.7.0 Linux installation file from the archive (tried to install it through cygwin and it was a mess). Suggestions? Ideas? Has anybody used this plug-in? Michael -- Michael Chajewski, M.A. Department of Psychology

Often it is useful to keep a "codebook" to document the contents of a dataset. (By "dataset" I mean a rectangular structure such as a dataframe.) The codebook has as many rows as the dataset has columns (variables, fields). The columns (fields) of the codebook may include: ? variable name ? type (character, factor, integer, etc) ? variable label

Folks, I'm kind of newbie in R, but with some background in Matlab and VBA programming. Last month I was implementing a Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Matlab, but the algorithms didn't converge. So my academic advisor suggested using R. My problem is: estimate a mean reverting jump diffusion parameters. I've succeeded in deriving the likelihood function (which looks like a gaussian

Dear R users, I have a SAS codes with several loops in it, and i hope to use R to do the same task. The SAS codes are as follows, /*to generate the dataset*/ DATA Single_Simulation; DO se=0 to 1 by 0.01; DO sp=0 to 1 by 0.01; DO DR=0 to 1 by 0.01; TR=(DR+sp-1)/(se+sp-1+1.0e-12); Adjust_Factor=TR/(DR+1.0e-12); OUTPUT; END; END; END; RUN; /*to select some data*/ DATA

I am attempting to replicate some of my experience from SAS in R and assume there are best methods for using a combination of summary(), subset, and which() to produce a subset of mean values by categorical or ordinal factors. within sas I would write proc means mean data=dataset; class factor1 factor2 var variable1 variable2; RUN; producing an output with means for each variable by factor

Greetings - While I've used R a fair bit for basic statistical machinations, I've not used it for data manipulation - I've used SAS for 20+ years (and SAS real shines in data handling). So, I've started the process of trying to figure out 'how to do in R what I can do in my sleep in SAS' - specifically wrt to data manipulating. So, these are decidely 'newbie' level
