R with Aqua GUI

R with Aqua GUI Publisher's Description:
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that activity.

One of R's strengths is the ease with which well-designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the defaults for the minor design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.

R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs out of the box on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux). It also compiles and runs on Windows 9x/NT/2000 and MacOSX.

What's new in this version:
In addition to support for innovations in R 2.1.0 and R.app itself this patch release fixes some problems with package installation and has many new functionalities in the GUI:

* function arguments look up in the R Console and the internal code editor
* status bar to give more feedback to user on R activities
* enhanched and integrated help system
* several internal code optimizations leading to speedness and better stability

For all the other new features, please refer to the description of R-2.1.0 release.
