History
R is a programming language it was an
implementation over S language. R was first
designed by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at
the University of Auckland in 1993.
It was stable released on October 31st 2014 the 4
months ago ,by R Development Core Team Under
GNU General Public License.
Introduction
R is a programming language and software
environment for statistical computing and
graphics. The R language is widely used among
statisticians and data miners for developing
statistical software and data analysis.
It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX
platforms, Windows and Mac OS. R can be
downloaded and installed from CRAN website ,
CRAN stands for Comprehensive R Archive
Network.
R Basics
Why R ?
 The most extensive modeling resources in
scientific research.
 The fine publishing quality graphs.
 Easy to develop your own model.
 R is freely available under GNU General Public
License.
R Package
 A Package is a collection of R functions with
comprehensive documents.
 A Package includes: R functions, Data Example,
Help Files, Namespace and Description.
 The default installation is kept as minimum.
 The function of R could be extent by loading R
packages.
R GUI
Features
Open Source:
The source code of R program and the extensions
could be examined line by line.
Integrating with other Programming Language:
R is an interpreting language, can be rather slow,
but could integrate with high efficient languages
such as C, C++ or Fortran.
OS Independence:
UNIX, Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD...
Command line Driven:
You have to write Commands...
Comparison with other languages
R Programming Python Java
•It was stably released
in 2014.
•It was stably released
in 1996.
•It was stably released
in 1995.
•It has more functions
and packages.
•It has less functions
and packages.
•It has large number of
inbuilt functions and
packages.
•It is an interpreter
base language
•It is an interpreter
base language
•It is interpreter and
compiled based
language.
•It is statistical design
and graphics
programming
language.
•It is general purpose
language.
•It is general purpose
programming
language designed for
web applications .
•It is difficult to learn
and understand.
•It is easy to
understand.
•It is easy to learn and
understand.
•R is mostly use for
data analysis.
•Generic programming
tasks such as design
of software's or
•Java is mostly used in
design of windows
applications and web
Merits
 R is the most comprehensive statistical
analysis package available . It incorporates all
of the standard statistical tests, models,
and analyses, as well as providing a
comprehensive language for managing and
manipulating data.
 R is a programming language and environment
developed for statistical analysis by practising
statisticians and researchers.
 The graphical capabilities of R are outstanding,
providing a fully programmable graphics
language that surpasses most other
statistical and graphical packages. ˆ
 R is free and open source software, allowing anyone
to use and, importantly, to modify it. R is licensed
under the GNU General Public License, with
copyright held by The R Foundation for
Statistical Computing.
 R has over 4800 packages available from
multiple repositories specializing in topics like
econometrics, data mining, spatial
analysis, and bio-informatics.
 R is cross-platform. R runs on many operating
systems and different hardware. It is popularly
used on GNU/Linux, Macintosh, and Microsoft
Windows, running on both 32 and 64 bit
processors. ˆ
Demerits
R is slow :
Is an interpreting language and is not very fast.
Could be 1/40 of C.
Limitation of Memory:
All the objects are in memory.
R is hard to learn:
One has to memorize the commands/functions,
and understand the logics of programming. The
fluency in R requires great time and energy.
Conclusion
Any Queries?
