[R] Comparison between R and MATLAB

[Spencer Graves]

      The short answer on comparing R and Matlab is that it depends on 
your benchmark and which church you happen to frequent.  Some people 
swear that Matlab is superior, but I haven't seen the evidence for 
that.  The benchmarks that come closer to being transparent are more 
equivocal, as far as I seen.  Spencer Graves
