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 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. The R distribution contains
functionality for a large number of statistical procedures. Among
these are: linear and generalized linear models, nonlinear regression
models, time series analysis, classical parametric and nonparametric
tests, clustering and smoothing. There is also a large set of
functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating
various kinds of data presentations. Additional modules ("add-on
packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes.
