Message: [QUOTE="George George, post: 4650803"] Ruby 'describes' itself as a dynamic scripting/programming language. R 'describes' itself as a statistical programming environment. The ruby community also offers you RSruby which is a bridge between Ruby and the R interpreted language see here [URL]http://rubyforge.org/projects/rsruby/[/URL]. There could be others too. There many statistical programs and packages. It might depend with your knowledge and tasks to choose which one to use. Most statistical algorithms and theories are available in public domain. You can implement them in your programming language of choice or stick with a known package that implements them to avoid reinventing the wheel. [/QUOTE]
