SMHS Linear Modeling - Statistical Software

This section briefly describes the pros and cons of different statistical software platforms.

Statistical Software Advantages Disadvantages
R
  • R is actively maintained (100,000 developers, 15K packages)
  • Excellent connectivity to various types of data and other systems
  • Versatile for solving problems in many domains
  • It’s free, open-source code
  • Anybody can access/review/extend the source code
  • R is very stable and reliable
  • If you change or redistribute the R source code, you have to make those changes available for anybody else to use
  • R runs anywhere (platform agnostic)
  • Extensibility: R supports extensions, e.g., for data manipulation, statistical modeling, and graphics
  • Active and engaged community supports R
  • Unparalleled question-and-answer (Q&A) websites
  • R connects with other languages(Java/C/JavaScript/Python/Fortran) & database systems, and other programs, SAS, SPSS, etc.
  • Other packages have add-ons to connect with R. SPSS has incorporated a link to R, and SAS has protocols to move data and graphics between the two packages
  • Mostly scripting language
  • Steeper learning curve
SAS
  • Large datasets
  • Commonly used in business & Government
  • Expensive
  • Somewhat dated programming language
  • Expensive/proprietary
Stata
  • Easy statistical analyses
  • Mostly classical stats
SPSS
  • Appropriate for beginners
  • Simple interfaces
  • weak in more cutting edge statistical procedures lacking in robust methods and survey methods
More comparisons are available online: UCLA/ATS and Wikipedia.
