All:
I'm just starting to design a water-related statistical application which crunches input from two or more sample spaces. The goal is to draw statistically valid inferences about water consumption trends and the effectiveness of applied conservation measures from experience across multiple properties/environments. R:Base is the primary data-collection and reporting vehicle. R:Charts will factor heavily. Would I be best served by developing the statistics ENGINE within R:Base itself, or by exporting R:Base formatted data to a dedicated statistics package for crunching?
