By “official R” I mean the R project, under the control of the R Core Group. This is what you get when your download R from the CRAN website, and what’s included in REvolution R distribution. This includes both the R interpreter (the code that implements the language at the heart of R), and the various statistical functions included in the official R distribution. These components and functions are all managed under a strict software development lifecycle, and have the highest reputation for accuracy and reliability. This is what makes R suitable for all statistical analysis applications where you need the utmost confidence in the result, such as the analysis of clinical trial data. This is R.
SAS to offer R integration to support analytical innovation
SAS has heard its customers and will offer new ways for them to get answers faster, using both SAS and R. By enabling users to submit R code from within the SAS environment, developers of statistical models will have more options to derive value from data — using the breadth of methods already available in SAS, while experimenting with some new methods not yet implemented in SAS via the R interface.
CRANberries
Well this is really cool feature for R community, now you can get lateste updates related to R packages through you feed reader. CRANberries aggregates information about new and and updated packages from the CRAN network and make them available as RSS feed. Unfortunately CRANberries does not track the packages out of CRAN repostory such as Bioconductor.
Inference for R
Inference for R enables you to use the familiar Microsoft Excel and Word environment to assemble dynamic documents containing your data, R software objects, R commands, and text annotations (commentary). When executed, a dynamic document runs R commands and generates a results document that contains textual, numerical and graphic output of R commands in addition to formatted text annotations. Results documents are useful for documenting your R work, creating standardized analyses, explaining and illustrating concepts with R, and publishing and sharing your results. Inference Studio also provides an integrated development environment (IDE), which enables analysts to build workflow solutions that utilize R dynamic scripting.
