Out of curiosity, if you want open source, what's wrong with Octave or the likes?
- zmmmmm 14y agoI must admit, that sounds plausible and I'm not an expert with Matlab or Octave, but I understand the compatibility is reasonable but nowhere near complete. There seem to be a pretty good number of problems discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3534867/why-when-should-i-prefer-matlab-over-octave http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3534867/why-when-should-i... But really I just feel like (certainly in my field) the open source community around R is huge and thriving and it's a better bet than Octave in terms of that.
