Hi, Speed is an issue and large data sets are problematic. But I don't think that they are the entire problem here. Much more of the problem is that we don't yet know how to efficiently normalize microarrays and to estimate gene expression data. We're still trying to get it right rather than g

Hi, all-- I wanted to start a (new) thread on R speed/benchmarking. There is a nice R benchmarking overview at http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm, along with a free script so you can see how your machine stacks up. Looks like R is substantially faster than S-plus. My problem is this
