R can be considered as a -different implementation of S. There are some important differences, -but much code written for S runs unaltered under R. - -R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, -classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, -clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. -The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical -methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that -activity. - -One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality -plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where -needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design -choices in graphics, but the user retains full control. - -WWW: http://www.R-project.org/ |
