R News
R News (ISSN 1609-3631)
was the newsletter of the
R project for
statistical computing from 2001--2008. It featured short to medium length articles
covering topics that might be of interest to users or developers of R,
including
- Changes in R: new features of the latest release
- Changes on CRAN: new add-on packages, manuals, binary
distributions, mirrors,...
- Add-on packages: short introductions to or reviews of R
extension packages
- Programmer's Niche: nifty hints for programming in R (or S)
- Hints for newcomers: Explaining sides of R that might not be so
obvious from reading the manuals and FAQs.
- Applications: Examples of analyzing data with R
The newsletter as a medium for communication intended to fill the
gap between the R mailing lists and scientific journals: Compared with
emails a newsletter is more persistent, one can cite articles in the newsletter
and because the newsletter is edited it has better quality control. On
the other hand, when compared to scientific journals, it is faster,
less formal, and last but not least focused on R.
