similar to: SAS or R software

I would like to use R for submissions to FDA/CDRH (the medical device company I work for currently uses only SAS). Previous postings to the list regarding R and 21 CFR 11 compliance have been very helpful. However, reluctance to using open source software for statistical analyses and reporting remains high here at my company. Has anyone used R for an official submission to FDA/CDRH? It would

Dear All, discussing with a statistician of a pharmaceutical company I received this answer about the statistical package that I have planned to use: As R is not a validated software package, we would like to ask if it would rather be possible for you to use SAS, SPSS or another approved statistical software system. Could someone suggest me a 'polite' answer? TIA Giovanni -- dr.

Does anybody know if R is FDA or ICH (or EMEA...) compliant? AFAIK S-Plus is but that means nothing... -- Trebate bolji pristup internetu? Nazovite IskonInternet na 0800 1000 ili pogledajte http://www.iskon.biz/individualni/usluge/dialup/

Dear all, There have been a variety of discussions on the R list regarding the use of R in clinical trials. The following post from the STATA list provides an interesting opinion regarding why SAS remains so popular in this arena: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-01/msg00098.html Regards, -Cody Hamilton

Dear All, I am fairly new to R. I work mainly in SAS. Now, I know that SAS is approved by the FDA for submissions. My question is, does the FDA approve {R} for clinical trial submissions. Also has anyone ever tried to produce TFL's using R. I would like to know how difficult it to produce the TFL's in R as compared to SAS. I know that in SAS it is not difficult once you know

I like R more than SAS. My job is doing research on clinical trial. But I was told that FDA only accepts the result from SAS. Is that true? TOO BAD. [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Yesterday I just noticed the new document on R and regulatory aspects for biomedical research posted at http://www.r-project.org/doc/R-FDA.pdf Coming from an institution that performs a large number of clinical trials for FDA and being an advocate of R myself, I have found that the following issues usually come up when discussing the use of R for FDA trials: 1. Most FDA submissions come down to

I have used S-PLUS, R, MATLAB and SAS for many years, and I am actually quite happy to use any of these four languages. The reason may in part involve my using the various languages for the purposes to which they seem most suited. Hence there are many things for which I would not use SAS or MATLAB, but for which I would greatly prefer to use R instead. On the other hand ( to take one of a

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,

Does anyone know if for clinical studies the FDA would accept statistical analyses performed with R ? Delphine Fontaine

Hello all, My statistical analysis training up until this point has been entirely done in SAS. The code I frequently used was: *Yield Champagin; data yield; set stress; if field='YV' then delete; if field='HB' then delete; if barcode='16187DD4015' then delete; if barcode='16187DD6002' then delete; if barcode='16187DD2007' then delete; if

Hi, This is not meant to be critical of R, but is intended as a possible source for improvements to R. SAS needs the competition. I am reasonably knowledgeable about R SAS-(all products including IML) SAS and R run on Windows(all flavors) UNIX(all flavors) Apple OSs Does R run on natively (no emulation)? We have quite a few users on these systems VAX-VMS Z-OS (mainframe) MVS VM/CMS(IBM)

Hi All I am really very interested in starting to use R within our company. I particularly like the open source nature of the product. My company is a medical research company which is part of the University of London. We conduct contract virology research for large pharma companies. My question is how do we validate this software? I wonder if anyone else has had the problem and might be able to

Regarding point 3, as a moderator I have been helping Andrew get this post out to the list over the past week. His previous attempts were encoded in some way that the listserv rejected. He sent me the post via his gmail account and viewing the source I saw it had at least both plain test and HTML an I said it was worth a try to post it. Certainly on my mail client his post displays acceptably

Hello Everyone,   I’m a SAS user who has recently become interested in sequential clinical trials designs. I’ve discovered that the SAS based approaches for these designs are either too costly or are “experimental.” So now I’m looking for alternative software. Two programs that seem promising are SPLUS Seqtrial and R.   I recently obtained a 30 day trial for the SPLUS Seqtrial add-on and have

I will offer an opinion, with which others may fairly take issue. If you are coming from SAS and wish to learn R, you should forget about SAS entirely; it is ancient and convoluted. But more to the point, as others have already suggested, you will only confuse and hamstring yourself trying to convert the programming paradigms of one language into another. Better to consider the **tasks** you wish

You might get better answers if you 1 - break this down into separate issues 2 - tell us what you want to achieve in words rather than SAS, we all read English but few of us speak SAS 3 - post in plain text not HTML as HTML mangles your post On 29/09/2017 13:47, Andrew Harmon wrote: > Hello all, > > My statistical analysis training up until this point has been entirely done > in

A colleague pointed out that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has adopted a transport format defined by SAS Institute as a standard for electronic submissions of data. As a result, this format has been openly documented. The URL for the documentation on the format is http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/technote/ts140.html Information on the FDA standards for

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
