Welcome to r4stats.com. This site’s mission is to analyze the world of data science, help people learn to use R and review graphical user interfaces that make R easier to use. R is free, open-source software for data science that is similar to the “big three” commercial packages: SAS, SPSS, and Stata.<\/p>\n\n\n

Welcome to r4stats.com! -Bob Muenchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In the menus under Articles<\/a>,<\/em> you’ll find a set of detailed reviews of all the point-and-click front ends that make R easy to use (most make it look very similar to the SPSS user interface). A comparison of them all is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There you’ll also find a detailed analysis of data science software popularity; a list of add-on products for SAS and SPSS as well as the R packages that do similar things; the many ways to call R from other software; and a few other articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shorter commentary is listed under Blog<\/em><\/a>. An extensive set of programs showing how to do the same tasks in R, SAS, SPSS, and Stata are listed under Examples. You’ll find information about my books, R for SAS and SPSS Users and R for Stata Users, under Books. Information about my book with Bob Hoyt et al., Introduction to Biomedical Data Science, is on a different website (the link will take you there). My reviews of other books are listed under Miscellaneous<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Books<\/a> section, you’ll see descriptions of the various books I have written and files that relate to them to download. The Examples section shows many of the demonstrations I present in those books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, under Workshops<\/a>, <\/em>you can learn about the training I have offered in partnership with the American Statistical Association<\/a>, DataCamp.com<\/a>, RStudio<\/a>, New Horizons Computer Learning Centers<\/a>, and Xerox Learning Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I welcome comments or suggestions regarding this site or data science in general, so feel free to contact me<\/a> at muenchen.bob@gmail.com or on Twitter @BobMuenchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
