I want to perform statistical computing. For this purpose, I thought I will use MATLAB. Is there any other that beats MATLAB in statistical computing?

I’m not sure if you can use MATLAB for statistical computing purpose. MATLAB is a programming language that enables you to perform matrix manipulations, plot functions, implement algorithms, and allows you to create a user interface. It definitely allows numeric computing but not aware if you can use for scientific computing. Check in MATLAB community. You might find the solution there.

You R language for scientific computing and can also be used for graphics. It is a GNU project and is similar to the S language and environment, much of the S code can run in R language without any need for modifications.

I agree with Gopalkrishna. R is the best platform for conducting scientific computing. Some of the advantages of the R language are: End to end development for execution High speed Consists of huge number of open source packages Has quantitative trading packages Can integrate C++/C language with rcpp
