Do you hate SAS?

[Wild Bill Kelso]

Do you have to do stats? If so are you one of the unfortunate people who uses SAS to analyse your data? I myself have a love hate relationship with the program, extremely powerful, but at times very tempermental.

10   PROC TTEST data=fun
11   run;
     
     22
        -
        200
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, (, ALPHA, CI, COCHRAN, DATA, H0.
ERROR 200-322: The symbol is not recognized and will be ignored.
12   quit;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE TTEST used (Total process time):
      real time           0.00 seconds
      cpu time            0.00 seconds 

Look familiar to anyone?

Could be worse, you could be using MiniTab.

[Niccolo Machiavelli]

I largely avoid using it becasue I'm not very familiar with it due to avoiding its use .

Very rarely, I've had to use it, but I prefer Statistica or SPSS due to them being more user-friendly...

But I love what it does, when I can't do it with the other two - but still - a pain to use for me...
