10 R is GNU S, a system for statistical computation and graphics. It
11 consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a
12 debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run
13 programs stored in script files.
15 The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows
16 branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
17 The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of
18 statistical procedures such as: linear and generalized linear
19 models, nonlinear regression models, time series analysis, classical
20 parametric and nonparametric tests, clustering, smoothing and
21 graphical data representations. Additional modules ("add-on
22 packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes but are
23 not distributed with this package.
