R and Rstudio

Added: 05/11/2017

  1. R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. You can download and install R for free here.

  2. Though R is self-sufficient, some prefer to use Rstudio along with R. Rstudio is a "quality of life" addition that provides a more user-friendly user interface a lot of users find helpful. You can download Rstudio for free here.
