[R] Gauss user question

[Oleg Urminsky]

I have been using Gauss for doing maximum likelihood estimation of 
somewhat complex models, and I am possibly interested in moving over to 
R.  Does anyone have experience doing both?  My main concern is that my 
models are very slow to estimate in Gauss; wondering if R is likely to 
be faster or slower.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Thank you,
