• R 2.5.1

R 2.5.1

Summary

Description: System for statistical computation and graphics
Source: http://www.r-project.org/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files.

The design of R has been heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers & Wilks's S and Sussman's Scheme. Whereas the resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme.

The above is taken from the R FAQ Section 2.1.

All add-on packages in CRAN that will compile are installed on Solaris, and Linux. Users of R on IRIX, HP/UX, Tru64 and AIX will need to install any add-on packages that they need.
