Package: r-base (0.61.2-2)

`GNU S' - A language and environment for statistical computing.

R is described by its authors as "not unlike" S, which is a language developed at Bell Laboratories for statistical computing and graphics. It provides support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true computer language which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. Fortran and C code can be linked and called at run time.

S is the statistician's Matlab and R is to S what Octave is to Matlab.
