| Abstract: Statistical software packages such as SPSS and SAS have long dominated the evaluation field as the statistical software packages to use when analyzing quantitative data. In recent years R, a syntax based statistical program, has become increasingly common – yet many evaluators have yet to hear about it. One of the greatest benefits of R is that it is open source and available at no cost. This session will include: introducing attendees to R, comparing R to other statistical software, and providing examples of how evaluators can use R in their evaluation work. |
