| Abstract: |
R is the largest public domain software language for statistical analysis of data. Together with CRAN, its rapidly growing collection of >3000 add-on specialized packages, it implements around 60,000 statistical functionalities in a cohesive software environment. Extensive graphical capabilities and interfaces with other programming languages are also available. The scope and language of R/CRAN are briefly described, along with efforts to promulgate its use in the astronomy. R can become an important tool for advanced statistical analysis of astronomical data. |
