Three different approachesSAS 9.4, JMP Pro 12, R 3.2.3

SAS 9.4

Pro'sCon's

Backward compatibility(extreme)

Enterprise level support

Respected and accepted

Big data on limited hardware(sort of)

Supports high end hardware

Academic credentials

Lots of experts available (fora price)

Cost and slow adoption·

6/20

JMP Pro 12

ProCon

Highly visual

Advanced GUI

Very fast for most analyses

Cross platform(Win/Mac/Linux)

Good OO programmability

High integration with SAS

·

·

·

·

·

Cost (maybe more than SAS)

In-memory operation limitssize

·

·

7/20

R 3.2.3

Pro ConAdvanced languagecapabilities

Unlimited visualizationcapability

Low cost (even for enterpriseversions)

Quick adoption of newtechniques

Interactive environment

Global free supportcommunity

Why not Python?

Even more 'roll your own' than R

I usually opt for C++ rather than Python

This is about statistical software

Big Data Analytics | Benchmarking SAS®, R, and MahoutSource(http://support.sas.com/resources/papers/Benchmark_R_Mahout_SAS.pdf)

Revolution R Enterprise: Faster Than SASSource (http://info.revolutionanalytics.com/SAS-Benchmark-White-Paper.html) You'll need to give them your contact info tolook at it.

So we have the gist in the next two slides.

SAS 9.4

Developed vintage 1960's onmainframes (Think punchcards and tapes)

Searched for 'When was SASfirst written'. Second entrywas 'When was the Biblewritten?'

15/20

JMP Pro 12

Vintage 1980's on Mac

platform

GUI oriented

Highly graphics oriented

Expensive

Well supported and

integrated with SAS 9.4

SAS specific big data approaches

If you can afford it, SAS is probably the quickest way to solutions.

So pay the bucks for:Enterprise Miner

Visual Analytics

Factory Miner

Contextual Analysis

SAS/OR

Simulation Studio

– the list goes on… –
