I have been slightly behind due to being sick. I have basically finished my midterm. I feel confident in SAS, and I believe that my skills have really developed over the past several assignments. It is quite amazing to look back on my confusion and panic during the first week and to look at where I am at now. I look forward to using this Program in the future and honing in on my skillset further.
I have had a little bit of that same confusion and panic from the first week during this transition to R. It does appear to be very user friendly in a number of different ways. I do think that I may end up liking it more than SAS. I just need to take it all in and remember that I had the same initial feelings with SAS and look at how far I can in that. I really am looking forward to gaining more confidence in R and figuring out all the nuances. I really like how easy it is to access the libraries and import data. I also like how it holds on to what have you previously done. It also seems to very helpful in providing more guidance. More to come on this…
