The move from SPSS to R
Data analysis - finally! As daunting as it can seem, I am delighted to have gotten my teeth into some data analysis the last couple of weeks. One thing that is making it slightly more challenging is the move from SPSS to R. Having worked exclusively in SPSS for my degree and research assistant positions, moving to R has been a big transition. It is obviously less user-friendly, but I am enjoying the extent to which it really makes me think through the analysis I am doing at a statistical level. What are your thoughts on R? And what resources do you draw on for help? Mostly, when I become stuck, I simply search for a solution on Google, but I am also finding Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using R a really helpful guide to the basics, through to more complex analysis.
