Abstract

R is a language and software that allows statistical analysis. It includes means that make it possible to manipulate data, calculations and graphical representations. It provides a wide variety of statistical tools (modeling, statistical testing, time series analysis, classification problems, machine learning, ...) Nowadays, there is no doubt that it is the software par excellence in statistical courses for any level, for theoretical and applied subjects alike. The goal of this paper is helping to start using the statistical software R. We will cover its benefits, show how to get started and will make interesting recommendations for using R, according to my experience .
