sassy

The sassy package is a meta-package that aims to make R easier for everyone, especially people with a background in SAS®. The package brings several useful SAS® concepts to R, including data libraries, formats and format catalogs, data dictionaries, a data step, a traceable log, and a reporting package with a variety of printable report types.

The core of the sassy system is the procs package. This package contains replications of several SAS® procedures: proc_freq(), proc_means(), proc_ttest(), proc_reg(), proc_transpose(), and proc_sort(). Combined with the datastep() function from the libr package, you can write code in R that very much resembles what you would write in SAS®. These functions provide a higher-level programming interface than is typically found in R, and can therefore make your analysis more efficient and productive.
