Popularity of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata...

[Muenchen, Robert A (Bob)]

Hi All,

I've been fiddling around with various ways to estimate the popularity
of R, SAS, SPSS, Stata, JMP, Minitab, Statistica, Systat, BMDP, S-PLUS,
R-PLUS and Revolution R. It's not an easy task. You can see what I've
come up with so far at http://r4stats.com/popularity . I'm sure people
will have plenty of ideas on how to improve this, so please let me know
what you think.

Cheers,
Bob

Is there some simple syntax to create a column of raw scores working from a cumulative frequency distribution?
Thanks,
Steve

Steven,

Are you saying you have this sort of table, for example? And the total is
known?
Value  Cum Percent
2         2.3%
3        24.8
5        33.9
7        50.1
8        66.6
10       74.1
15       95.2
27      100.0
