r-base 2.7.1-1 (lpia binary) in ubuntu intrepid
R is `GNU S' - 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.
.
S is the statistician's Matlab and R is to S what Octave is to Matlab.
.
This package is a metapackage which eases the transition from the
pre-1.5.0 package setup with its larger r-base package. Once installed, it
can be safely removed and apt-get will automatically upgrade its components
during future upgrades. Providing this packages gives a way to users to
then only install r-base-core (but not, say, r-base-latex) if they so desire.
