Abstract

The present article introduces the open source software R. The R was first produced in the Auckland University, New Zealand, as a free ware. It has become a favorite software, especially, in the area of statistical analyses. The day-to-day growth of R returns to the global determination stemming from the eager enthusiasts who share their findings with others. The R is a programming language as well, enabling the researchers to design software or change them in a way that is suitable at most for their researches. In addition to data analysis, R has graphical abilities producing a wide range of graphs that are needed in various fields of science. The present study introduces some of the R’s abilities.
