R for Mac OS X is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, ...).

R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time.

What's New:
Universal binary (i.e. for both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs) of base distribution of R 2.3.1 for Mac OS X.
This is a disk image containing the installer of R for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or higher.
This image also contains Tcl/Tk libraries (for X11), GNU gcc 4.0.3 for both PowerPC and Intel Macs and threaded ATLAS library (Intel Macs only).

Requirements:
X11 system manager (optional).
Gnu g77 compiler and tcltk libraries included with the installer.
