[Bioperl-l] The Power of R

[Jonathan Crabtree]

Slightly off-topic, but if anyone feels like karaoke after reading
this thread, here you go:

The power of R is a curious thing
Make a Perl man weep, make a Python man sing
Take a t-test a little too far
More than a free thing that's the power of R

Stats and regressions, if that's your scene
Faster and smarter, it's a math nerd's dream
Make bad data good make wrong data right
Power of R keeps you coding at night

You don't need money, just data frames
Don't need SAS analytics to make those planes
It's free and it's open and it plots some lines
But you might just need jackknife
That's the power of R
That's the power of R

First time you run it, it might make you sad
Next time you run it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power keeps arrays in bounds

And it don't take money, just data frames
Don't need SAS analytics to make those planes
It's free and it's open it can plot you some lines
But you might just need jackknife

They say that all in R is there
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from a LUG
You feel the power of R
You feel the power of R, can you feel it?

And it don't take money, just data frames
Don't need SAS analytics to make those planes
Tougher than BASIC and easier than C
You won't feel nothing till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of R
That's the power, that's the power of R
You feel the power of R
You feel the power of R
Feel the power of R
