| R is GNU S, 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 core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows |
| branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions. |
| The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of |
| statistical procedures such as: linear and generalized linear |
| models, nonlinear regression models, time series analysis, classical |
| parametric and nonparametric tests, clustering, smoothing and |
| graphical data representations. Additional modules ("add-on |
| packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes but are |
| not distributed with this package. |
