Hi All, My paper "R for SAS and SPSS Users" received a bit more of a reaction than I expected. I posted the link (http://oit.utk.edu/scc/RforSAS&SPSSusers.pdf) about 12 days ago on R-help and the equivalent SAS and SPSS lists. Since then people have downloaded it 5,503 times and I've gotten lots of questions along the lines of, "Surely R can't do for free what [fill in

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. I have been using SAS for some time, and now I have discovered R. I am very happy with it, but I have not found out how to perform some of the multiple comparisons I was used to do in SAS. With the SAS/STAT, I generally used the MEANS (for comparison of arithmetic means) and the LSMEANS (for adjusted means) statements of the GLM procedure (I

Dear Lists, I got the chance to review Bob Muenchen's book - R for SAS and SPSS users. While my detailed review is online at www.decisionstats.com, the book is a welcome addition in R Textbooks for beginners and an especially nice one for people who have experience in SAS and /or SPSS languages. AT 50 USD, it's reasonably priced for all geographies (;) , and quite handy as a refernce book

Hi List, I had the pleasure of taking Dr Bob Muenchen's interview for his upcoming book R For SAS and SPSS users. He has spent 27 years in this field while I have spent almost that much on earth. So this is more like a fan blog interview. I thought it would be of use to people curious about R, or even SAS , or SPSS if they have not worked on either of these packages before. Having fought my

Hi All, I 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

Greetings, I am pleased to announce the availability of the document, "R for SAS and SPSS Users", at http://oit.utk.edu/scc/RforSAS&SPSSusers.doc . It presents an introductory view of R for people who already know SAS and/or SPSS. Included are 27 programs written in all three languages (i.e. 81 total) so that people can see how R works compared to the other two, task by task. I

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I found an interesting thread discussing R and other packages here: http://anyall.org/blog/2009/02/comparison-of-data-analysis-packages-r-matlab-scipy-excel-sas-spss-stata/ Plenty of well-reasoned comments. I thought it may be informative for people on this list. Best, - -Jose - -- Jose Quesada, PhD. Max Planck Institute, Center for

Hi Roland and folks: Roland's and Susanna's comments were very interesting. I think we need to keep in mind that unlike SPSS, R is more than a statistical package. It's a tool. SPSS does indeed make life easy, particularly for data preprocessing (or data "cleaning"), something that is perhaps not advisable using R (the current versions). Also, I think it's a myth that R

Estimados Hoy instale RStudio, y por sorpresa o desconocimiento de mi parte, veo que hay la posibilidad de importar datos excel, spss, sas, stata, texto, recuerdo consultas en la lista al respecto, posiblemente mucho se soluciones con las herramientas propuestas por RStudio.

Hi all, I'm giving a talk in a few days to a group of psychology faculty and grad students re the R statistical language. Most people in my dept. use SAS or SPSS. It occurred to me that it would be nice to have a few concrete examples of things that are fairly straightforward to do in R but that are difficult or impossible to do in SAS or SPSS. However, it has been so long since I have used

Dear folks ? I have a large (26 gig) ASCII flat file in fixed-width format with about 10 million observations of roughly 400 variables. (It is 51 years of Current Population Survey micro data from IPUMS, roughly half the fields for each record). The file was produced by automatic process in response to a data request of mine. The file is not accompanied by a human-readable file giving the

Greetings, I've just put out the latest version of "The Popularity of Data Analysis Software" at http://r4stats.com/popularity. This update includes complete data for 2010, the addition of number of blogs for each software, more coverage of Statistica, and, where possible, measures regarding the implementations of the SAS Language: Carolina and the World Programming System (WPS).

Hi All, I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS, R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know what you think.

Dear Rusers, I have met a difficult problem on explaining the differences of principal component analysis(PCA) between R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, which wasn't met before. Althought they have got the same eigenvalues, their coeffiecients were different. First, I list my results from R,S-PLUS and SAS/STATA/SPSS, and then show the original dataset, hoping sb. to try and explain it.
