NAME

       R - a language for data analysis and graphics

SYNOPSIS

       R [options] [< infile] [> outfile]
       R CMD command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       Start R, a system for statistical computation and graphics, with the specified options, or
       invoke an R tool via the 'R CMD' interface.

       R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language developed at AT&T Bell
       Laboratories.  It provides support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses.  R
       is a true computer language which contains a  number  of  control-flow  constructions  for
       iteration  and  alternation.   It allows users to add additional functionality by defining
       new functions.

       On systems which have the GNU readline(3) library, R will maintain a command  history,  so
       that commands can be recalled, edited and re-executed.

OPTIONS

       Most  options  control  what  happens  at the beginning and at the end of an R session, in
       particular which files are being read and written, and how much memory is reserved for the
       R process.

SEE ALSO

       The full documentation for R is provided by a collection of Texinfo manuals and individual
       help for R objects which is also available on-line.

       Start R and type ?topic at the R prompt to obtain on-line information for `topic'.

       If the processed manuals have been installed they will be  available  as  DVI  and/or  PDF
       files  in  the  doc/manual  subdirectory  of  the documentation directory tree (default `R
       RHOME`).

       If the info program and the R manuals are installed on your  system,  typing  info  -f  R-
       intro,  info  -f  R-data, info -f R-exts, info -f R-FAQ, info -f R-lang and info -f R-ints

       Import/Export''  Guide,  the  ``R  Extension  Writer's Guide'', the ``R FAQ'', the ``The R
       Language Definition'', and the ``R Internals''.
