> And btw, good luck treating any kind of Big Data with JMP. Oh I'm definitely not intending to. (To the commenter below, it really doesn't matter how you define Big Data for that statement.) That much I had already figured out, which was why I was evaluating R with an eye towards pitching my boss on it. The test case I'm referring to here was a pretty simple neural net to my mind -- roughly 350,000 rows of data, six predictor variables, one hidden layer with 30 nodes. I can verify that the neural net code ran because if I truncated the data set down to 1,000 rows I got a result back. But the full dataset just chugged for hours and hours without stop.
