tsa posted:watching social scientists try and do statistics is like watching a gorilla trying to invent flight. This is true. Unfortunately the masters came with obligatory courses in statistics so we all had to sit our asses down in front of SPPS, crimson tears of frustration streaming down our cheeks, as the will to live slowly evaporated from our pores. Whenever someone mentions Kruskal-Wallis or Mann-Whitney, I flinch and a little part of my soul dies. Don't get me wrong though, I wish I was better at this poo poo because I enjoy the quantitative approach over the qualitative. When I'm not shitposting on SA I'm hamfistedly working on a PhD, which involves a lot of discourse analysis and Jesus Q. Christ, what absolute bullshit that is. I'm literally making poo poo up as I go along. Even though working with SPSS was horrible, I'd quite frankly prefer it over the vapid nonsense I'm dealing with now. But my penis is quite beautiful!

R is good. Not sure what there is to hate about it. If you know how to program in any modern language you can pick up R in a few hours.Cyril Sneer posted:I just want to come along here and say I legit like MATLAB. The documentation is literally somefunc(x1, x2, x3) where sometimes x1,x2,x3 can be certain types and other times they can't, and sometimes dimensions have to match and other times they don't. And sometimes they can be nxm sometimes they can't. But it sure as poo poo doesn't say it in the documentation or error messages. You'd think they'd list acceptable input types, things that have to be similar for the variables, or anything that documentation for a good language or piece of software does. Instead their documentation is the least technical documentation imaginable that provides no useful information unless you didn't know that plot3 plotted something beforehand. It's only mildly annoying for casual stuff, but it is really annoying when you're dealing with longer scripts that were written by people ages ago that are parsing large amounts of data generated by something else.

Vegetable posted:How do I get good at R? Like, is there a step by step guide to getting good at this poo poo, as somebody starting from zero? Yeah rstudio and coursera are useful starts. You will also be well advised to take the time to look over the vignettes that come along with functions. ?function() helps. There are some basic things you'll want to learn that include distinguishing matrices and data frames (including how to reference rows or columns). moreover you will want to learn the syntax for for loops and if statements . I/o is pretty straightforward if you don't mind getting your data into a CSV or tab delimited file. If you use rstudio the output part is trivial.

R has a steep initial learning curve, which is even steeper if you don't already know at least one programming language, but the up-front investment of learning it is worth it, OP. I'm so glad I learned R during my first year of grad school.

Titus Sardonicus posted:All of this is true and goddammit get rstudio right now. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good GUI that lets you input your data like a spreadsheet (I could never get JGR to loving work, thanks Java) so all you can do is suck it up and do it the normal pain-in-the-rear end way, but at least do it with rstudio. have you tried the R commander package?

also matlab needs to die in a fire it constantly bugs out and in the rare case of actually debugging a script enough to make it work the new matlab version will bug out in new and exciting way the greatest instance of this was someone doing stats in matlab for a paper and having to rewrite the whole thing after getting it accepted because the script bugged out and gave bullshit p values to random variables

You know while I'm here: are negative numbers Cardinal numbers? Also natural numbers start at 0 and increment to infinity so it makes sense that the first item in a set would be labeled as "item zero" right?
