Summary:
C: R software environment for statistical computing and graphics
Description:
C: |-
<p>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 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 core of
R is an interpreted computer language which allows branching and looping as well as modular programming
using functions. Most of the user-visible functions in R are written in R. It is possible for the user
to interface to procedures written in the C, C++, or FORTRAN languages for efficiency, and many of R's
core functions do so. The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of statistical procedures
and underlying applied math computations. There is also a large set of functions which provide a flexible
graphical environment for creating various kinds of data presentations. Additionally, several thousand
extension "packages" are available from CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network, many also
as Debian packages, named 'r-cran-<name>'. This package provides the core GNU R system
from which only the optional documentation packages r-base-html, r-doc-html, r-doc-pdf and r-doc-info
have been split off to somewhat reduce the size of this package.</p>
