+ R is GNU S, a system for statistical computation and graphics. It
+ consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a
+ debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run
+ programs stored in script files.
+
+ The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows
+ branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
+ The R distribution contains functionality for a large number of
+ statistical procedures such as: linear and generalized linear
+ models, nonlinear regression models, time series analysis, classical
+ parametric and nonparametric tests, clustering, smoothing and
+ graphical data representations. Additional modules ("add-on
+ packages") are available for a variety of specific purposes but are
+ not distributed with this package.
