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 list members: I have the following data: group <- rep(rep(1:2, c(5,5)), 3) time <- rep(1:3, rep(10,3)) subject <- rep(1:10, 3) p.pa <- c(92, 44, 49, 52, 41, 34, 32, 65, 47, 58, 94, 82, 48, 60, 47, 46, 41, 73, 60, 69, 95, 53, 44, 66, 62, 46, 53, 73, 84, 79) P.PA <- data.frame(subject, group, time, p.pa) The ten subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups and measured

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

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

I am a mature learner; 3 masters some doctoral work ? statistics for social sciences; psychological statistics ? worked in spss and sas 2005 ? 2006 now have forgotten ; relearning my question is this can I do everything in R and Python and SAS studio that I did in SPSS and the paid variation of SAS we used in doctoral statistics class? Can I do in Stat in R or Python or SAS studio everything I

I have 3 SAS files all in the directory F:/sas, two data files and a format file : form.ea1.sas7bdat form.ea2.sas7bdat sas.fmts.sas7bdat F is a USB. I am trying import them to R using "sas.get". I have not used SAS since I was downloading data from mainframe and having to write JCL. I had forgotten how bizarre SAS can be. I currently have not even figured out how to load the files

Hi, Because I'm new to R and trying to move off of SPSS, I have another question. I downloaded the "Foreign" package which I understand reads in various datasets from programs such as SPSS and SAS. There isn't much documentation that I can find regarding the specifics of this in the online docs, but I assume that it is like read.table. So, here is what I wrote and here is

Good day My name is Jos? Oscar, I'm from Mexico and I have some questions about foreign in your write.foreig( ) function. We know that this function generates the inputs to be able to run them or execute them in another program like SPSS, SAS or Stata. In these cases, when creating an example file, a matrix and using the function to execute the .sps file directly from SPSS, I don't care or

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.

As noted on the R-project web site itself ( www.r-project.org -> Manuals -> R Data Import/Export ), it can be cumbersome to prepare messy and dirty data for analysis with the R tool itself. I've also seen at least one S programming book (one of the yellow Springer ones) that says, more briefly, the same thing. The R Data Import/Export page recommends examples using SAS, Perl, Python, and

Hi R users, Is there a Package in R to - set up a questionnaire? - enter data? Best regards -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-package-to-set-up-a-questionnaire---enter-data-tp20947237p20947237.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

Readers of this list might be interested in the following commenta about R. In a recent report, by Michael N. Mitchell http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/technicalreports/ says about R: "Perhaps the most notable exception to this discussion is R, a language for statistical computing and graphics. R is free to download under the terms of the GNU General Public License (see http://www.r-project.

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

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, Cohen, Cohen, West, and Aiken 2003 (Applied Multiple Regression-Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, Third Edition) on page 273 state the covariance matrix of the regression coefficients is provided by standard programs for multiple regression, including SAS, SPSS, and SYSTAT. How can it be calculated with R. Thank you very much. pbm Peter B. Mandeville cel:

Dear all, I am a newcomer to R. I intend to using R to do stepwise regression and PLS with a data set (a 55x20 matrix, with one dependent and 19 independent variable). Based on the same data set, I have done the same work using SPSS and SAS. However, there is much difference between the results obtained by R and SPSS or SAS. In the case of stepwise, SPSS gave out a model with 4 independent

Hello Everyone,   I have just started learning R and am in the process of figuring out what it can and can't do. I must say I am very impressed with R so far and am amazed that something this good can actually be free.   Recently, I finished reading R for SAS and SPSS Users and have begun reading SAS and R and Data Manipulation with R. Based on what I've read in these books and elsewhere,

Dear all, in last weeks you discussed about R vs SAS. I want to ask your opinion about a comparison between R and SPSS. I don't know this software, but some weeks ago I went to a presentation of this product. I found it really user-friendly with GUI (even if I'd prefer command line) and very usefull and simple to use in creation and managing tables, OLAP tecniques, pivot table. What you
