[Blindmath] Article: 'R' language bringing statistical analytics to the masses (Q&A)

[Roopakshi Pathania]

Hi Jennifer,

R has 2 interfaces- a GUI and a command line.
The command line interface works just like any other command line application under Windows. 
There are some problems with exploring the output using the arrow keys, but this can be solved by using alternative cursor modes and internal functions of R that let you export the output to Excel, Word, LaTeX, etc.

The GUI has some issues, but as I understand it, those have been addressed in the development builds of R.
Whenever I have time, I’ll test that one out and report my findings to the list.

Regards
Roopakshi
