Versions 2.6.2, 2.7.2, 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.10.1 and 2.12.1 are installed on Hippu.

Most R versions include the Bioconductor packages that add support for genetics and genomics for R.

Usage

R is very similar to the Splus software. Almost all commands from Splus work as such in R.

For interactive use of R, through the R console, please run the installation on Hippu. To run R scripts in a non-interactive automated fashion, please use the batch job system implementation in either Mursk or Vuori.

Detailed instructions on creating serial batch job scripts in Murska can be found here:

Detailed instructions on creating serial batch job scripts in Vuori can be found here:

Staring R

The 64-bit versions are always invoked with RXXX, where XXX is the version number of R. So, for version 2.12.1 in Murska, the program call is

murska>R1201

murska>R

Some general commands

A list of all installed libraries is available by using the R command

library()

The quit command is

q()

Information about the various commands within R can be retrieved by the command

help()

If the user has the X window emulator installed, the web browser’s auxiliary functions can be run with the command

help.start ()
