About RLink

R is an interactive data analysis package available for free over the internet with a gnu license at http://www.R-project.org. Overall, R contains many advanced data analysis capabilities including:

• Nonlinear mixed effects models
• Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS)
• Random forests
• Survival/reliability methods
• Bootstrapping
• Classification and regression trees

With RLink these capabilities are now available from within Mathematica.

RLink is a MathLink based tool for Mathematica that allows Mathematica users to embed R in their Mathematica applications. Methods are provided for sending and receiving data between Mathematica and R, evaluating R commands, utilizing R graphics, and obtaining help from R - all from within Mathematica.
