That seems extremely sane in retrospect; thankfully I haven't done very much work on the statistics side, and sunk costs are therefore comfortably low if I were to take that path. I'm also not worried about glamour at all in that case, since I'm the one doing the work of "make it something people will actually want to use and that is useful". There are indeed many of them--do you have a specific recommendation?
Hello, thanks for your reply.
I am mostly on the supply side of the aforementioned "statistical guts," so I am not sure I am the best person to ask. The two big questions (which I am sure are obvious to you as well) are (a) language used, and (b) what functionality do you want in the "guts"? For instance Kevin Murphy's BNT has a lot of stuff, but is written in Matlab and not R. The fact that lots of people have to pay for Matlab will hinder adoption. SAMIAM is not open source, I think.
@jamesf - which one of the programs will you be picking?
I'm researching that right now. Recommendations are welcome.
