SAS

You still haven't given me an alternative for the mathematical modelling of large volumes of data apart from SAS.
It's a simple question, really, if you knew what you were talking about, which you don't.

But earlier in the thread you said there was no alternative. Now you're saying it's a simple question to suggest one?

That's thrown me, I was all geared up to be convinced that SAS was the only tool capable of processing large data volumes, and that Deliverance was the best food in London.

At least one alternative has to be on this list, Shirley? I'll guess at DPS or SPSS for starters.

You're on the bench aren't you?

I already use SPSS - it can't deal with large volumes generated e.g. by a transactional web site.
OK for quick and dirty EDA on sample data sets.
If there was a better alternative to SAS I'd use it since SAS is expensive, but so far still looking
