-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2010-3829 2010-12-21 16:59:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : R Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 2.12.1 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://www.r-project.org Summary : A language for data analysis and graphics Description : This is a metapackage that provides both core R userspace and all R development components.

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R is similar to the award-winning 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, ...).

R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time.
