Define "extensive." I think your answers depend on your definition. I know a bunch of folks in pharmaceutical preclinical R&D who use R for all sorts of stuff (analysis and visualization of tox and efficacy animal studies, dose/response modeling, PK work, IC50 determination, stability data analysis, etc.). Is "bunch" a majority? I strongly doubt that it's near. Is it 5%, 10%, 30% ?? Dunno. Excel is still the Big Boy in most of these arenas I would bet. But I would also bet that there are at least 1 or 2 folks in dozens of companies who use R in for these things.
