R is a language which is not entirely unlike the S language developed
at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Rick Becker, John Chambers and Allan
Wilks.
R is free software distributed under a GNU-style copyleft.
This port has most of the functionality in the first S book (the
"Blue Book") and many of the applications. In addition, a certain
amount of functionality from the second S book (the "White Book")
has been implemented. In particular functioning versions of "lm"
and "glm" and their associated "summary" and "anova" methods are
provided.
