In the future I think analysts need to be polyglots- you will need to know more than one language for crunching data.

SAS, Python, R, Julia,SPSS,Matlab- Pick Any Two 😉 or Any Three.

No, you can’t count C or Java as a statistical  language 🙂 🙂

Efforts to promote Polyglots in Statistical Software are-

1) R for SAS and SPSS Users (free or book)

• SPSS and R reference
• SAS/IML and R  reference

• JMP and R reference http://www.jmp.com/support/help/Working_with_R.shtml

2) R for Stata Users (book)

3) SAS and R (blog and book)

4) Using Python and R together

• Accessing R from Python (Rpy2) http://www.bytemining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/rpy2.pdf
• Big Data with R and Python (though these have been made separately)

• Python for Data Analysis is a book . Python for Data Analysis by Wes McKinney

Probably we need a Python and R for Data Analysis book- just like we have for SAS and R books.

• The RPy2 documentation is handy http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.1/html/introduction.html
• A nice tutorial is also here – also the inspiration to writing this post http://files.meetup.com/1225993/Laurent%20Gautier_R_toPython_bridge_to_R.pdf#! 

5) Matlab   and R

Reference (http://mathesaurus.sourceforge.net/matlab-python-xref.pdf ) includes Python

5) Octave and R

package http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RcppOctave/vignettes/RcppOctave.pdf includes Matlab

reference http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/R-and-octave.txt

6) Julia and python

• Julia and IPython https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl 

• PyPlot uses the Julia PyCall package to call Python’s matplotlib directly from Julia

7) SPSS and Python is here

8) SPSS and R is as below

• The Essentials for R for Statistics versions 22, 21, 20, and 19 are available here.
• This link will take you to the SourceForge site where the Version 18 Essentials and Plugins are hosted.
  • Plugins for Version 18 for R
