[R-SIG-Finance] Do you have any suggestions for spreading R in Taiwan where finance is dominated by Matlab?

[Santosh Srinivas]

Ideally I'd think it is show by example (and then measure with costs
and efficiency). The network R-bloggers, RevoR, learningR .. many
others who are gurus in this group and the r-help group who  do a
great job of *demonstrating* R-usage (and try-it-for-yourself).
(there are lots of these individuals / groups)

I would be watchful on commercial applications (i.e. do proper
cross-testing across platforms and softwares to check). Although, I
like R very much, I spoke to a very established individual in finance
yesterday who mentioned that there are occasional issues that he has
observed in R (he loves R himself). I would be cautious making a
blanket recommendation in commercial applications (since issue is
sortof sensitive)
