R in the NY Times
I would like to add that I would have spent many more years doing my PhD if it wasnt for R! all data management, statistics and graphics were conducted using it. This was the direction my university and many more research institutes appear to be heading. It probably doesnt get said enough and I am sure I speak for all young researchers I am very much in debt for all the kind souls who have helped me and other newbies on this forum over the years, Thanks very much R team. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank E Harrell Jr" <f.harrell at vanderbilt.edu> To: "Bill Pikounis" <billpikounis at gmail.com> Cc: <r-help at r-project.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2009 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [R] R in the NY Times

Pardon my exuberance, but this is simply awesome. What a treat to find on the front web page of the NY Times this morning under Technology. I think the article is very well written by the author, and I think it captures top highlights of why the software and community are so special. Continued high gratitude to all of R-core and the R community for its unique accomplishments. Every bit of praise is well-earned and deserved. I have continuously claimed to colleagues (primarily pharma industry) for the past 8 years or so that R is the most exciting going on in the area of statistics. Thanks, Bill
Amen to that, and in addition, R is now the top tool for everyday analysis, not just a research statistician's tool. Frank
