Dear Sir/Madam
Hi. I am a general paediatrician, and I have read *some* chapters of the following books(1-3). I think SPSS lacks some features that may be important in data analysis (for example: interval of correlation coefficient in bivariate normal distribution, PRESS, and MSPR in cross-validation). I am thinking about changing SPSS to R: 1. SPSS is very expensive for me to update. 2. My colleagues use SPSS, but I think data can be exchanged between SPSS, and R, is this true? 3. I have not worked with R so much yet. Would you mind do me a favour about this issue, please? Kind regards Mehrshad 1. Norusis MJ. SPSS 16.0 guide to data analysis.
