rant | latest release

rant is a R library. rant has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

this directory contains the source code tree for r, which is a language which is not entirely unlike (versions 3 and 4 of) 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. the core of r is an interpreted computer language with a syntax superficially similar to c, but which is actually a "functional programming language" with capabilities similar to scheme. the language allows branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions. most of the user-visible functions in r are written in r, calling upon a smaller set of internal primitives. it is possible for the user to interface to procedures written in c or fortran languages for efficiency, and also to write additional primitives. the r distribution contains functionality for a large number of statistical procedures. among these are: linear and generalized linear models, nonlinear regression models, time series analysis, classical parametric and nonparametric tests, clustering and smoothing. there is also a large set of functions which provide a flexible graphical environment for creating various kinds of data presentations. a package specification allows the production of loadable modules for specific purposes, and several thousand contributed packages are made available through the cran sites (see
