RStudio - Perfect for the Low Budget Statistician
Overall Satisfaction with RStudio
We use RStudio for statistics-related endeavors on our research projects. We use it frequently for accessing and analyzing our data in descriptive and predictive type analyses. It helps us address issues such as underperformance in schools and other education settings, or even issues of inequity and exclusion of vulnerable populations.
Pros
- Descriptive analyses.
- Predictive analyses.
- Accessing data.
- Replicating syntax.
Cons
- The interface.
- A more beginner-friendly walkthrough.
- Have also had issues with program versions impacting syntax execution.
- Allows us to reach our statistics goals.
- Low cost.
- Allows us to invest in other parts of our project due to the low cost.
Personally, I would prefer SPSS over RStudio and SAS, but the cost for licenses for SPSS deters me from continuing to go with IBM's statistics software. RStudio has the advantage in that it is low cost and there are a lot of available resources on YouTube available for users to pull from.
