Extract

In this chapter we explore the statistical software program called R along with the integrated development environment known as RStudio. We provide a brief review of the history of R followed by guidance on how to download and install R and RStudio. Next, we explore features of the program including a basic review of the graphical interface. We then turn to working with basic commands, loading and saving data, and provide examples of working with packages in R.
