You should provide the source code for your analysis. It annoys me when people present results without the code that created it - if you were writing a new software library, would you just distribute precompiled binaries to everyone?

I don't have source code, since I did my analyses through the GUI of the software package that I learned in my grad school stats classes (JMP). I've been wanting to switch to R, but have been putting it off because of the transition costs.
