st: Re: New Resource for Using R with Stata

[David Airey <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

I use Stata and R too. I think R resources on bioconductor.org is  
absolutely fantastic. I also make use of odd packages in R that are  
not standard, like the shapes package for geometric morphometric  
analysis.

Sorry for the jibe. Couldn't resist.

A constructive criticism of your site is that it would be nice to  
have side by side direct translation examples of code between Stata  
and R.

Very nice otherwise.

Cheers,

-Dave
