If you can fit your data into a .csv, System R is a fair statistical tool. The price is right. And System R does have a geometric "learning curve" and it's not a substitute for SAS.

From: John McKown <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 01/21/2013 09:44 AM Subject: R statistical language. Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> I wonder if a z/OS port of the following language would be of interest. It might be an interesting way to get some performance information for those of us who cannot afford SAS. http://how-to.linuxcareer.com/introduction-to-gnu-r-on-linux-operating-system But then again, probably not, because it does not have the ability to read SMF data built in to it. And it doesn't run on z/OS. It does run on both Linux and Windows. But, unlike SAS on Linux/Windows, it cannot direct read z/OS data via ftp, as best as I can see. But in the off chance somebody is interested: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/ http://www.r-project.org/ home web page -- Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
