similar to: Comparing R and SAs

Hi, I am trying to read a SAS version 9.1.3 SAS dataset into R (to preserve the SAS labels), but am unable to do so (I have read in a CSV version). I first created a transport file using the SAS code: libname ces2 'D:\CES Analysis\Data'; filename transp 'D:\CES Analysis\Data\fadata.xpt'; /* create a transport file - R cannot read file created by proc cport */ proc

Dear R-helpers, I had a conversation with a guy working in a "business intelligence" department at a major Spanish bank. They rely on recursive partitioning methods to rank customers according to certain criteria. They use both SAS EM and Salford Systems' CART. I have used package R part in the past, but I could not provide any kind of feature comparison or the like as I have no

Hi, and sorry for asking such an unspecific question. Does anybody know of statistical / data mining methods that are available in R that are not in SAS ? With SAS I mean the SAS System Version 9.4 and SAS Enterprise Miner. I don't expect a complete list, just two or three examples or hints where and what to look for. I found some older comparisons, and the R methods mentioned there

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

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.

Hi All, I am running quantile regression in a "for loop" starting with 1 variable and adding a variable at a time reaching a maximum of 20 variables. I get the following warning messages after my "for" loop runs. Should I be concerned about these messages? I am building predictive models and am not interested in inference. Warning messages: 1: In

Hi mates, I have a problem. I am new to R and want to conduct the Fama/French asset pricing test. As I am from Germany, I cannot use the already computed factors from French's website, but need to compute them myself. So I have to sort a number of stocks into different portfolios using one factor, then subdivide these portfolios into several more using another factor, then compute portfolio

I need to use the Bhattacharyya distance metric to determine population separation. Has anyone written a Bhattacharyya distance metric function in R? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Bhattacharyya-distance-metric-tp26221259p26221259.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

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

Hi, I use nnet for my classification problem and have a problem concerning the calculation of the final value for my validation data.(nnet only calculates the final value for the training data). I made my own final value formula (for the training data I get the same value as nnet): # prob-matrix pmatrix <- cat*fittedValues tmp <- rowSums(pmatrix) # -log likelihood

Hi, I have a problem. I have a data frame looking like: ID val A? .3 B? 1.2 C? 3.4 D? 2.2 E? 2.0 I need to CREATE the following TABLE: CASE?? DIFF A-A??? 0 A-B??? -0.9 A-C??? -3.1 A-D??? -1.9 A-E??? -1.7 B-A??? ... B-B??? ... B-C B-D B-E C-A C-B C-C C-D C-E D-A D-B D-C D-D D-E E-A E-B E-C E-D E-E WHERE CASE IS THE COUPLE OF ELEMENTS CONSIDEREDM AND DIFF IS THE computed DIFFERENCE between

I want to create a neural network, and then everytime it receives new data, instead of creating a new nnet, i want to use a backpropagation algorithm to adjust the weights in the already created nn. I'm using nnet package, I know that nn$wts gives the weights, but I cant find out which weights belong to which conections so I could implement the backpropagation algorithm myself. But if anyone

Hello, Our company has been looking at "SAS enterprise guide 4" (Insightful Miner is a similar product from Insightful, I believe) which seems to provide a nice graphical way of displaying/managing a process or project. It is also accessible to non-programmers. Does any of the R GUIs provide similar functionality please? Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Best

Dear All, I am having some problem in apply function. I have some data like below.

SAS Enterprise Miner recommendeds to standardize using X / STDEV(X) versus [X ? mean(X)] / STDEV(X) Any thoughts on this? Pros Cons Philip

Dear R-helpers, I know of two ways to reading data within an R program, using textConnection and stdin (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

Hi All, I am trying to learn Neural Networks. I found that R has packages which can help build Neural Nets - the popular one being AMORE package. Is there any book / resource available which guides us in this subject using the AMORE package? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Indrajit

Dear R-Helpers, SAS Institute just mailed out the notice below regarding a survey of people who do data mining. To help keep the survey from becoming biased toward commercial software, I thought it would be good to post it here as well. Cheers, Bob Fourth Annual Data Miner Survey Rexer Analytics has asked statistical and data mining software vendors to forward this survey as a courtesy. (SAS is

I am one of only 5 or 6 people in my organization making the effort to include R/Splus as an analysis tool in everyday work - the rest of my colleagues use SAS exclusively. Today, one of them made the assertion that he believes the numerical algorithms in SAS are superior to those in Splus and R -- ie, optimization routines are faster in SAS, the SAS Institute has teams of excellent numerical
