Dear Sir/Madam
Hi. I am a general paediatrician, and I have read *some* chapters of the
following books(1-3). I think SPSS lacks some features that may be important
in data analysis (for example: interval of correlation coefficient in
bivariate normal distribution, PRESS, and MSPR in cross-validation). I am
thinking about changing SPSS to R:
1. SPSS is very expensive for me to update.
2. My colleagues use SPSS, but I think data can be exchanged between
SPSS, and R, is this true?
3. I have not worked with R so much yet.
Would you mind do me a favour about this issue, please?
Kind regards
Mehrshad
