[R] (New) Popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata...

[Muenchen, Robert A (Bob)]

Greeting Listserv Readers,

At http://r4stats.com/popularity I have added plots, data, and/or
discussion of:

1. Scholarly impact of each package across the years
2. The number of subscribers to some of the listservs
3. How popular each package is among Google searches across the years
4. Survey results from a Rexer Analytics poll
5. Survey results from a KDnuggests poll
6. A rudimentary analysis of the software skills that employers are
seeking

Thanks very much to all the folks who helped on this project including:
John Fox, Marc Schwartz, Duncan Murdoch, Martin Weiss, John (Jiangtang)
HU, Andre Wielki, Kjetil Halvorsen, Dario Solari, Joris Meys, Keo
Ormsby, Karl Rexer, and Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro.

If anyone can think of other angles, please let me know.

Cheers,
Bob
