- 3. History R is a programming language it was an implementation over S language. R was first designed by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland in 1993. It was stable released on October 31st 2014 the 4 months ago ,by R Development Core Team Under GNU General Public License.
- 4. Introduction R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and Mac OS. R can be downloaded and installed from CRAN website , CRAN stands for Comprehensive R Archive Network.
- 5. R Basics Why R ? The most extensive modeling resources in scientific research. The fine publishing quality graphs. Easy to develop your own model. R is freely available under GNU General Public License.
- 6. R Package A Package is a collection of R functions with comprehensive documents. A Package includes: R functions, Data Example, Help Files, Namespace and Description. The default installation is kept as minimum. The function of R could be extent by loading R packages.
- 7. R GUI
- 8. Features Open Source: The source code of R program and the extensions could be examined line by line. Integrating with other Programming Language: R is an interpreting language, can be rather slow, but could integrate with high efficient languages such as C, C++ or Fortran. OS Independence: UNIX, Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD... Command line Driven: You have to write Commands...

- 10. Merits R is the most comprehensive statistical analysis package available . It incorporates all of the standard statistical tests, models, and analyses, as well as providing a comprehensive language for managing and manipulating data. R is a programming language and environment developed for statistical analysis by practising statisticians and researchers. The graphical capabilities of R are outstanding, providing a fully programmable graphics language that surpasses most other statistical and graphical packages. ˆ
- 11. R is free and open source software, allowing anyone to use and, importantly, to modify it. R is licensed under the GNU General Public License, with copyright held by The R Foundation for Statistical Computing. R has over 4800 packages available from multiple repositories specializing in topics like econometrics, data mining, spatial analysis, and bio-informatics. R is cross-platform. R runs on many operating systems and different hardware. It is popularly used on GNU/Linux, Macintosh, and Microsoft Windows, running on both 32 and 64 bit processors. ˆ
- 12. Demerits R is slow : Is an interpreting language and is not very fast. Could be 1/40 of C. Limitation of Memory: All the objects are in memory. R is hard to learn: One has to memorize the commands/functions, and understand the logics of programming. The fluency in R requires great time and energy.
