R Language
• The R language was designed with
computational statistics in mind. In its
simplest form, it can be run from your
operating system's command line or from
the R console.
• However, I recommend using R from the
convenience of an integrated development
environment (IDE), such as Studio.
• An IDE is a programming environment that
offers tools such as project management,
tabs for easily managing multiple script
files, and additional developer tools.
• We discuss the layout of the Studio IDE in
more detail in the next section..
