In John Chambers?s phrase, they are "extending R." This guide enables users to add their contributions and packages to R. Since the beginning, Cahmbers has been a key contributor to the software leading to today?s R. In this book, he expresses the core ideas in R, provides programming guidance for projects of all scales, and introduces some new techniques of value in extending R. Part 1 describes the essential charachteristics and evolution of R and how R works. Part 2 discusses topics relevant to programming with R, emphasizing techniques that support extensions. Part 3 is a thorough presentation of R?s object-oriented programming. Part 4 is a new approach to interfacing R to software in other languages. Features. Covers key concepts and programming techniques for projects from small to large. Describes object- oriented programming in R, in detail and generality. Presents a new high-level structure for interfaces from R to other languages. Discusses the history of how R evolved, related to its important modern features. 720 gr.…

Up-to-Date Guidance from One of the Foremost Members of the R Core Team
Written by John M. Chambers, the leading developer of the original S software, Extending R covers key concepts and techniques in R to support analysis and research projects. It presents the core ideas of R, provides programming guidance for projects of all scales, and introduces new, valuable techniques that extend R.
The book first describes the fundamental characteristics and background of R, giving readers a foundation for the remainder of the text. It next discusses topics relevant to programming with R, including the apparatus that supports extensions. The book then extends R’s data structures through object-oriented programming, which is the key technique for coping with complexity. The book also incorporates a new structure for interfaces applicable to a variety of languages.
A reflection of what R is today, this guide explains how to design and organize extensions to R by correctly using objects, functions, and interfaces. It enables current and future users to add their own contributions and packages to R.
