A colleague pointed me to this article advocating R as a Matlab substitute. Here is the link (deliberately on two lines:

I'm not a Matlab user, but I understand that it provides a nice front end to the Linpack collection of numerical linear algebra routines. My friend and I wonder if R can really compete in that league. Does anyone know if there are published benchmark comparisons between R and other packages like Matlab with the focus on numerical stability rather than speed?

Cheers,
