PRESENTATION
Introduction
to
The R Programming Language
by
Brian Knaus
<knausb at science.oregonstate.edu>
R is an Open Source implementation of the S statistical
programming language. In fact, R is the most widely used
open source software package for statistical software development
and data analysis, and has become a de-facto standard among
statisticians for the development of statistical software.
R supports a wide variety of statistical and numerical techniques
and has excellent graphical facilities, which can produce
publication-quality graphs which can include such things as
mathematical symbols and maps and other complex features.
R is also highly extensible through the use of packages,
which are user-submitted libraries for specific functions
or specific areas of study. As a result, R has been extended
to work well with postgres, GRASS, and many other software products.
