This is an introduction to R (“GNU S”), a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R is similar to the award-winning¹ S system, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, ...).
