The program provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and non-linear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.).

R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it lets users add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, Fortran and C code can be called and linked at run time. %%category: statistics, math, graphics %%license: GPL %%maintainer: The R Core Team %%interface: command line, X Window System, windows, mac %%updated: 2002-01-08 %%keywords: statistics, graphics, drawing, computation, math %%programs: %%GNU: yes %%web-page: http://www.R-project.org %%support: %%doc: Manuals and translations at http://cran.R-project.org/manuals.html %%developers: The R Core Team %%contributors: A large group of individuals from all over the world, see http://www.R-project.org/contributors.html %%sponsors: %%source-tarball: http://cran.R-project.org/src/base/R-1.4.0.tgz %%source-info: http://cran.R-project.org/sources.html %%source-template: http://cran.R-project.org/src/base/R-latest.tgz %%debian: http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ %%rpm: http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/ %%repository: %%related: ESS-- Emacs Speaks statistics (http://ess.stat.wisc.edu/).
