R is an open source programming language for statistical analysis and graphics.
Its software and manual are online at http://cran.r-project.org/. Third party books are available for learning R.[1][2]
Graphical interfaces are available:
Uses
Statistics
An interactive package for instructions (12 pages) on using R for statistics is available[3] with a commercial book for further detail (376 pages).[1]
