R 是一个用于统计计算和图形的免费软件环境,也是 S 语言的一种方言。 编程语言. It was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. R is considered an alternative implementation of S, with semantics derived from Scheme, which introduced powerful features like lexical scoping not present in early S. The design of R draws on Scheme, an example of how programming languages research influences practical tools for statistics.
