By the they, are there any thoughts about having a course in SAS/S-Plus? Half semester in SAS, half in S-Plus.
Part of the course could be devoted to learning SAS and databases, which seems to be a very important.
I think this would make a great elective.
Regarding these two, SAS is tailored-made for handling large set of data. It is used, e.g., to perform mortgage/MBS prepayment forecast. S-Plus, on the other hand, is more like Matlab, in that it allows one to do quick-and dirty modeling prototyping and development, in addition to statistical analysis.
