Hello Sonali. I guess SAS is better than R. Go with it. 1.Sas can access raw data files & data in the external database 2.It can analyse data using descriptive, statics, multivariate techniques, and linear programming tactics 3.It will help you to manage data entry easily

I would suggest you to us R language. I had personally used SAS, but I was not happy with its performance. Benefits of using the R language are: R provides a useful programming for data analytics such as loops, user-defined recursive functions, input and output facilities, etc. It has a rich and expanding ecosystem and also plenty of documentation Mostly importantly, you can run this tool on Windows, Unix, and MacOS Has great graphics capabilities

Sonali, use R. It will allow debugging whereas SAS has issues with debugging process and if your system crashes while conducting data analysis, you will be helpless.
