Inference for R
March 25th, 2009
Inference for R lets users nest the R statistical language in Word and Excel. It’s a neat idea, and another example of the kind of bottom-up innovation that I predict will eventually lead to fully-fledged extensible programming systems. (If Bespin made it easier to do things like this, I might understand all the excitement…)
This really is a godsent, since friends don’t let friends use Excel for statistics (or for certain other things… sigh).
