[R] SAS and R on multiple operating systems

[Roger DeAngelis(xlr82sas)]

Thanks Dennis,

    Thanks for taking the time that was a very informed response. It was a
teachable moment for me.

    I didn't know about the breath and depth of LaTeX. I need to do some
self education.
Unfortunately I don't see how to integrate LaTeX with SAS, since SAS has its
own template/tagset languages.

    I have not heard much about Framemaker in recent history. Adobe, like
Microsoft and SAS keeps coming out with reincarnations of old products. 

  I see a substantial potential for R in Pharma. Recently I spent several 
months working on a large meta analysis project involving 100s of journal
articles, We integrated the R meta package with SAS to get the fixed/random
effects and used SAS for input and final reports. 
 
   SAS simply cannot keep up with new statistical algorithms.  

I wish I could show you some of  style guides I have seen at various pharma
companies. Here is a sanitized hint on how some of them talk about
mathematical symbols.  Some pharma companies even have custom toolbars to
help the medical writers insert mathematical symbols. Bring up the
appropriate character map in word, usually the symbol map, select the
appropriate character and hit the insert character button.

I do use unicode in SAS for scripting some simple mathematical text.

Regards
