However, the spread of its use Prasenjit Kapat Meik Michalke among novice and occasional users of statistics have not progressed at the same pace, which The Ohio State University Heinrich Heine University Dusseldorf¨ can be atributed partially to the lack of a graphical user interface (GUI). Nevertheless, this situation has changed in the last years and there is currently several projects that thx have added GUIs to R. This article discusses briefly the history of GUIs for data analysis and then introduces the papers submitted to an special issue of the Journal of Statistical Abstract Software on GUIs for R.

The current status of R is a command line driven interface with no advanced cross-platform graphical user interface (GUI), but it includes tools for building such. Over the past years, proprietary and non-proprietary GUI solutions have emerged, based on internal or external tool kits, with different scopes and technological concepts. For example, Rgui.exe and Rgui.app have become the de facto GUI on the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms, respectively, for most users. In this paper 1. Introduction we discuss RKWard which aims to be both a comprehensive GUI and an integrated devel- opment environment for R. RKWard is based on the KDE software libraries. Statistical Nowadays, graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are the most common way of interacting with procedures and plots are implemented using an extendable plugin architecture based on a computer or other electronic devices. Whereas they are arguably not the best way of ECMAScript (JavaScript), R, and XML. RKWard provides an excellent tool to manage different types of data objects; even allowing for seamless editing of certain types. The performing every conceivable job, its dominance has reached the principal operative systems, objective of RKWard is to provide a portable and extensible R interface for both basic application domains, and tasks. Measured it in purely statistical terms, the triumph of this and advanced statistical and graphical analysis, while not compromising on flexibility and style of interaction is unquestionable and it seems clear that it will remain very popular in modularity of the R programming environment itself. the foreseeable future. However, regarding the discipline of statistics, this supremacy does not seem so dramatically Keywords: GUI, integrated development environment, plugin, R. clear, as many of the people working in this field seem to favor that using a typed language via a command line interface (CLI) is a much more productive, accurate and reproducible way of performing their tasks than a GUI. Actually, we are positive that they are right, because writing up commands can be undoubtedly much more productive than using a GUI, as far as 1. Background and motivation the learning cost is not included in the bill. Thus, although getting the knowledge to manage a command-based language is within reason if you are going to use it very often, the novice In mid 1993 Ihaka and Gentleman published initial efforts on the computing language and and occasional users of statistical software may not ever see sufficient returns to justify the programming environment R on the s-news mailing list.

  • Software Corner: Rkward: Installation and Use Aaron Olaf Batty [email protected] SRB General Editor
    Software Corner Software Corner: RKWard: Installation and use Aaron Olaf Batty [email protected] SRB General Editor Many readers of SRB are likely familiar with the free, open-source statistical software package R. R offers a staggeringly wide range of analyses and outputs, besting every other general statistics package on the market, for free. This value, however, comes at a cost that may seem too steep for many users: it is command-line only. One must learn to write R code to take advantage of this software, and although the code itself is relatively memorable and intuitive, it cannot compete with the ease of use offered by the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of competing packages, such as SPSS/PASW—a software package whose price can run over a thousand US dollars. What is RKWard? RKWard seeks to lower the usability barrier to entry into statistical analysis with R by providing a GUI frontend that hides much of the code from the use (although it is easy to inspect in the con- sole for those who wish to do so). Furthermore, it streamlines the sometimes-maddening process of importing data into R, and can read SPSS and Stata files natively in addition to standard text formats. Finally, its general look-and-feel will be immediately familiar to those who have used SPSS, further easing entry for novices. It has been in development since 2005, and achieved its first stable release in 2011. Although it uses the KDE desktop environment, which is usually found on Linux systems, it is not limited to computers running Linux/Unix.

    Introduction R Basics R Development Providing Services Over R Migration SCIENTIFIC AND STATISTICAL COMPUTING WITH R A. Mani Member, Calcutta Mathematical Society a:mani@member:ams:org Homepage: http://amani.topcities.com BARCAMP 2009, IIT KGP KOLKATA CENTER Introduction R Basics R Development Providing Services Over R Migration ABSTRACT The R environment is an integrated suite of FOSS facilities for data manipulation, knowledge discovery from databases, data analysis, scientific computing and graphical display. Technically R is an interpreted functional programming language with object-oriented programming features like inheritance. I intend to introduce some basic aspects of R, outline more advanced features and speak about providing scientific and statistical computing services over it. R caters to statistics and other methods of knowledge discovery like PCA, fuzzy techniques, data clustering, neural networks, DNA computing, belief networks, general mathematical modelling, econometrics and of course to the various sciences including bioinformatics.
