Welcome! This wiki isn't not pretty, and some navigational aids are absent, but there's a bunch of data. I hope it's useful to you. NOTE: I can't imagine why anyone would put spam pages on this wiki, but it's been under attack. I've shut down automated account creation, but I'd be more than happy to make you an account if you're interested in adding to the wiki. Please contact me at the email address you can find through the link below, if you'd like to help.
StatSoftEquivs is an offshoot of my interest, as a long time SAS user, in learning R. I have 20 years invested in SAS-- for most tasks I know how to use SAS to get them done. But R has some nice advantages over SAS, not least being that it's free. So the question is, what's the quickest way to turn one's knowledge of one statistical software language into another? One answer is a bilingual dictionary. Nick Horton and I wrote a book that implements the bilingual dictionary idiom: SAS and R. This wiki is an extension of that book project. In the wiki format it is easy for anyone to add topics that didn't make it into the book. In addition, other useful languages, such as Stata, can be added as well. As of the outset, the Stata pieces are wishful thinking in that I haven't used it since 1995, but I hope Stata users will help fill in the wiki to make Stata more useful to themselves and others. I'm open to adding other languages, such as SPSS or Minitab-- please add them to any page you like, and if sufficient pages have details on them, I'll add them to the "welcome" page. What's missing from the wiki right now is examples. What we have so far is essentially aligned documentation only. In addition to my book with Nick, my initial work on the wiki has drawn on the SAS official documentation and on the R documentation contributed by Rs many authors. Other useful resources for people coming to R include Robert Muenchen's book and Robert Kabacoff's Quick-R web site. Other resources for comparing code across multiple statistical software packages include UCLA's statistical consulting services. Thanks for coming, and please drop me any feedback. Happy editing!
