Sep 2, 2013 at 14:19 comment added Michał Wróbel If you have data on stdin, you can use such a one-liner: { echo 'd<-scan()'; cat; echo; echo 'summary(d)'; } | R --slave
May 26, 2011 at 11:28 comment added Peter.O thanks, I needed that name reference :) I didn't think of r- in the synaptic search field and it doesn't act on a lone character... I've tried it out now, and it looks ideal.. The R language is clearly the best for my requirement in this situation.. As per Gilles' answer, the Rscript interface to script files is most appropriate (vs. R, which is the interactive interface)... and R in the terminal makes for a handy calculator, or test environment (like python :)

May 25, 2011 at 17:44 comment added Lesmana in the ubuntu (and debian?) repo the package is named r-base.
May 25, 2011 at 17:26 comment added Peter.O It looks interesting.. I'll have a closer look at it tomorrow.. Based on wikipedia's page, "R has become a de facto standard among statisticians"... well that's a significant accolade... I actaully tried to dowload it the other day (I kept seeing it mentioned), but I couldn't find it in the Ubuntu repo... I'll follow it up tomorrow...
