-- You can do more statistical analysis in R, but it performs dismally when presented with huge datasets
Can you provide some benchmarks for this? Most I have seen have R outperforming SPSS and SAS by miles. I have never seen an R vs PSPP comparison. I take on board your comment about datasets in R being confined to size of physical memory.
I'm genuinely interested, not trolling. I use a bit of R for simple stats at work and most statisticians I have spoken to are very positive about it.
