This page is to serve as a resource for the UConn community (especially EEB) to encourage the use of R in data analysis.

The R project for Statistical Computing
R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. To download R, please choose your preferred CRAN mirror (http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html).
