When we discuss cost we can't avoid the constant bickering over the choice of the right statistical Software environment and its pros and cons - namely R or SAS. With respect to statistical analytics capability both SAS and R share the same respectability and we must agree on some occasions one leads the other. However, it is argued that some of the cutting edge latest techniques available in R are not available in SAS. Unfortunately, we are not going to add to the huge amount of information already available on this topic but would rather stick to providing clients worldwide a choice in choosing the software they are already invested in terms of time or money.
Market Equations India offers clients a combination of rich Industry experience and a committed group of intellectuals from business, science and mathematics disciplines that are passionate about analytics and are comfortable and current with programming using different statistical software including R, SAS, SPSS and MATLAB.
