Statistical Programming With R

Posted by timothy on from the no-r-in-statistics dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This series introduces you to R, a rich statistical environment, released as free software. It includes a programming language, an interactive shell, and extensive graphing capability. What's more, R comes with a spectacular collection of functions for mathematical and statistical manipulations -- with still more capabilities available in optional packages."

    From the "What is R?" page:

    R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language

    So, R came from S; that must mean that R++ is coming up next! :-)

    I can see that this package will be quite popular with political campaign managers.
