The lab had Macintosh computers, for which no suitable commercial environment was available.

The R package system CRAN (the Comprehensive R Archive Network ) The characters of R R is “GNU S” — A language and environment for data manipula-tion, calculation and graphical display. That is R is a Free Software (or Open source software). (Here, Free refers to freedom, not price, although R is free in that sense as well.) The core of R is an interpreted computer language. A mosaic of procedure-based programming and object-oriented programming Good interface to procedures written in C, C++, FORTRAN and other languages A flexible data exchange mechanism accessing relational databases -ODBC, PostgreSQL, MySQL and so on. R and Statistics Most packages deal with statistics and data analysis. Powerful statistical graphics. Well crosstalking with other statistical softwares. Most R user are statistical experts.
