Introduction to Rweb


What is R/Rweb?

Any computation that you want to do can be programmed in R. For our purposes, its real strength is that it has many statistical and graphical capabilities.

A major benefit of R is that it is free software. (Charlie Geyer has a help page about downloading and installing R.) R is similar to the commercial product S-Plus. Nearly everything you can do in R can be done in S-Plus and vice versa.

Rweb is a web interface to the R package. The Rweb commands are identical to R commands. If you are going to use R in any serious fashion, you should install it on your own computer instead of using this web interface.
