What is R?


R is a statistical package for data analysis. It has many built-in functions for plotting, fitting a straight line through a set of points, matrix manipulation etcetera. In these exercises, the R code will be generated automatically from the html pages, and R output is returned to the browser (e.g. netscape) as figures, tables or text fields that can be edited.

The home page of R can be found here. The source code can be downloaded freely...
