Interacting with R
If you are familiar with the R programming language and the environment for statistical studies, then you can easily transfer the accumulated material for use in Mathematica. To do this, you need to enable the RLink package and download the paclet for R using RLinkResourcesInstall:
When launching the RLinkResourcesInstall function, you will be asked to confirm the installation, and after this, the process of downloading the necessary files will start.
To start a connection with R, you need to call the InstallR function. For example, let's set the value of the
myR variable using the RSet function and then read it using the REvaluate function:
With the help of the REvaluate function, you can also declare functions written in R and execute them in Mathematica. For example, let's declare a function that returns the cube of given numbers:
To avoid the repeated calling of the REvaluate function every time the thrd function is called, you can use RFunction:
In this example, we will...
