Rweb is a Web based interface to R
(a statistical analysis package) that takes
the submitted code, runs R on the code (in batch mode), and returns the
output (printed and graphical).
R is a free statistical analysis package developed by Robert Gentleman and
Ross Ihaka.
It is almost source code compatible with S or Splus so if you have experience
with those languages you should have no problem using Rweb.
For information about R you can read the
R introduction page,
contact the
R authors ,
or visit the
R Archive.
If you would like to learn more about using R you can try a fairly
rough latex2html conversion of the
R notes
developed by Venables and
Smith and then modified for R by Gentleman and Ihaka
Which Version Do You Want?
Rweb
A simple web interface to R that works on most browsers and
requires knowledge of R (or Splus). You type in the code, click the
submit button and a page with the results (analysis and graphs) is returned.
This version of Rweb only requires a browser that can handle forms
and graphics (if you do any plotting). A small, sample code snippet is
included in case you don't know R but you still want to try it out.
Rweb modules
These modules are designed as a point and click forms based interface to
R for use in introductory statistics courses.
Students do not need to know anything about writing programs in R. They
choose a data set, the type of analysis, and the options for the analysis.
The currently implemented analyses include Regression, Summary statistics
and graphs, ANOVA, Two Way Tables, and a Probability calculator. The output
includes printouts and graphs which can be cut and pasted into project
writeups or printed out.

these modules, please let me know."
