SAS for R-users
There are loads of resources for users of any other statistics package who are learning R. For example http://www.google.com/search?q="r+for+sas-users" The reverse isn't the case http://www.google.com/search?q="sas+for+r-users" Having heard rumors of how unelegant other statistics packages are, I don't see why any R-user would ever want to switch to anything else. That said, users of other statistics packages will sometimes make R-users switch to their statistics packages. The only resources I've found for R-users learning SAS are still intended for SAS-users learning R. http://sas-and-r.blogspot.com http://sites.google.com/site/r4statistics/the-books/r4sas-spss Bob Muenchen says that 'Ralph O?Brien says that in a few years there will be so many students graduating knowing mainly R that [he]?ll need to write, ?SAS for R Users.? That?ll be the day!' I can't wait that long. Until then and until I can convince colleagues and teachers to use better software, how do you suggest that I learn SAS? I suspect that it'll be a book on R for SAS-users, so I'm expecting recommendations of books like those that are best for R-users learning SAS. This question would be more appropriate for a SAS mailing list, I couldn't find any except for those of a few regional groups. Thanks Tom
