I work for a research institute. I have used R for several years. I think there are some good and bad sides followings:
Good sides are: I can use new statistical methods from R. no license fee.. Bad sides are : physical memory in PC is an obstacle (max. 3GB), some package of R is still being developed(unstable-not really a problem), kind manual( this will be OK if you have training from some R company) k Hwang On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 10:51 AM, Frank E Harrell Jr < f.harr...@vanderbilt.edu> wrote: > Kel Lam wrote: > >> My institute has been heavily dependent on SAS for the past while, and >> SAS is starting to charge us a very deep amount for license renewal. >> Since we are a non-profit organization that is definitely not >> sustainable.
