Introduction to 'R'



You will find here a basic introduction to the 'R Software'. Take the time to explore the Basic Commands menu before starting the pratical.

'R' Software Features

It includes:

  • an effective data handling and storage facility,
  • a suite of operators for calculations on arrays, in particular matrices,
  • a large, coherent, integrated collection of intermediate tools for data analysis,
  • graphical facilities for data analysis and display either on-screen or on hardcopy, and
  • a well-developed, simple and effective programming language which includes conditionals, loops, user-defined recursive functions and input and output facilities.

Our Objectives

  • To get familiar with a new modelling and statistical analysis software.
  • To use the 'R' software to explore the behaviour of simple genetic network motifs.
  • To be able to build and simulate new, and more complex, genetic networks.
