Architecture
R is an open source language and environment for statistical computing and graphics that 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.
One of R’s strengths is the ease with which well-designed visualizations and publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed.
R is available as Free Software under the terms of the Free Software Foundation’s GNU General Public License in source code form. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms and similar systems (including FreeBSD and Linux), Windows and MacOS.
MORTALITYMINDER was developed using R version 3.6.0 (2019-04-26), running on CentOS 7.
