R: R (The R Project for Statistical Computing) R: R: R is a language and environment for statistical computing and R: graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and R: environment. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for R: research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source R: route to participation in that activity. One of R's strengths is the R: ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be R: produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed.
