Some companies have large datasets, but there probably are many companies that need to analyze large numbers of small to medium size datasets.
I think it is important to make a distinction between enterprise use and huge datasets. Through my job I can access any statistical software if the university does not have a license, I can buy an academic one without any issues. The main reason I left SAS was that I started using ASReml in 1997 and, around two years ago asreml-R, the R package version of ASReml. From that point on, I was a light SAS user (mostly STAT and IML) until 2009. I have thought a bit about the issue but, as I do not use Linkedin, I did not make any comments there.ĭisclaimer: I did use SAS a lot between 19, mostly for genetic evaluation, heavily relying on BASE, STAT, IML and GRAPH. A short while ago there was a discussion on linkedin about the use of SAS versus R for the enterprise.
