Cooperative computing based on dyalog APL and the R statistical system

Published: 31 December 2003 Publication History

Abstract

This article describes the implementation of a simple interface between Dyalog APL and the R statistical system in order to build a powerful tool for statistical computations and complex data analysis. We start by building the interface by means of a DCOM server, and go on to examples of using the interface, including calls to R functions from within the Dyalog APL session. Then we move on to graphical representation of different kinds of plots, including 3D plots, and examples of the joint use of Dyalog APL and R libraries. In conclusion, an example of a more complex tree based data analysis and the comparative analysis of the use of similar functions written in Dyalog APL are discussed.
