I'm just curious if R is the worst program for statistics ever invented by a human being, or if somehow, somewhere out there, there is some sort of program which is in some way shittier than R. if so, please let me know, so I can feel better about the situation where R is a thing I have to use. thank you all so kindly.

yes. Python. It pretends to be a statistical package, but it is not. And it can only do black box "machine l34rning". It doesn't even give standard errors in skicit lols

R is easily the best statistical software out there (like by a lot) it's also really terrible and as a programming language it feels like it was developed by aliens

SAS, but maybe it's because i had no other choice R is free though, is your organization too cheap to spring for something that's actually user friendly?

MATLAB isn't statistical software but i'm sure people use it for that. so that's probably the worst.

Mange Mite posted:what is matlab even for it is. i think the original purpose was so that engineers could do numerical linear algebra without having to learn fortran. then as with everything engineers do they just hacked on a bunch of random poo poo and tried to turn it into a programming language and now it's a horrible monstrosity.

GSLIB is functional enough. You need to know exactly what you want to do and how to do it of course.

Fitting a dataset to a normal distribution in Excel is fun if you like setting up all the calculations manually, step by step.
