Statistics Colloquium
September 13 (Fri), 110 am
Alavi Commons Room, 6625 Everett Tower

Introduction to R: A Statistical Computing Environment

J.C. Wang
Department of Statistics
Western Michigan University

R is a powerful software for statistical computing and graphics. It provides plots, summary statistics, estimation and testing, linear and nonlinear modeling, mixed-effects modeling, time series analysis, classification, clustering and many others. R is flexibly extensible through user-created functions and packages. And best yet, it is free and runs on a wide variety of platforms: Windows, Mac, and UNIX/LINUX.

You might like to download R to your laptop and try it out yourself during the colloquium.

All statistics students are encouraged to attend.
