The '''R programming language''', sometimes described as "[[GNU]] [[S programming language|S]]", is a mathematical language and environment used for [[statistical]] analysis and display. It was originally created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman (hence the name R) at the [[University of
It is based upon S, which was developed by [[John Chambers]] of [[Bell Laboratories]] and described in the paper "Evolution of the S Language" [http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/doc/96.7.ps]. R is considered by its developers to be an implementation of S, with semantics derived from [[Scheme programming language|Scheme]]. The commercial implementation of S is S-PLUS [http://www.insightful.com/products/splus].▼

==Comparison with other programs==
Although R is mostly used by statisticians, and other people in need of statistics, it can also be used as a general matrix calculation toolbox such as [[MATLAB]].
