DESCRIPTION:R\, also called GNU S\, is a strongly functional language and
  environment to statistically explore data sets and make many graphical 
 displays of data. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nR is widely used for statistical softw
 are development and data analysis. R is part of the GNU project\, and it
 s source code is freely available under the GNU General Public License\,
  and pre-compiled binary versions are provided for various operating sys
 tems. R uses a command line interface\, though several graphical user in
 terfaces are available.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nEd Borasky will provide an introd
 uction to R this Saturday at Cubespace from 11Am-3Pm. Please come prepar
 ed with a laptop and the requisite software (link to come soon). If you 
 have any issues installing the software\, or need help before the meetin
 g\, feel free to arrive at 10:30 Am. &#13\;\n&#13\;\nSoftware Downloads&
 #13\;\nUpdated to get ready for the upcoming class. There will be a few 
 more&#13\;\npages coming. The first will be on installing GGobi\, and th
 e second&#13\;\nwill be on CRAN Task Views.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nClick on http

 abbreviated &quot\;Getting Started With GGobi&quot\; guide. Please try&#
 13\;\nthis stuff out and let me know where it's broken. I just ran throu
 gh&#13\;\nthe Windows part and the &quot\;Testing on a Social Network Da
 taset&quot\; part&#13\;\nand that much of it works. :)&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCl

 13\;\n&#13\;\nR was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the Un
 iversity of Auckland\, New Zealand\, and is now developed by the R Devel
 opment Core Team. It is named partly after the first names of the first 
 two R authors (Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka)\, and partly as a play o
 n the name of S. The R language has become a de facto standard among sta
 tisticians for the development of statistical software. &#13\;\n&#13\;\n
