RStudio is a feature-rich integrated development environment (IDE) for the R programming language, which is commonly used to perform statistical analysis and generate graphical representations of data sets. R is widely used by statisticians and data scientists, as well as in specific disciplines such as environmental science amd biology.
While RStudio can be installed individual computers, Amherst College provides web-based access to a shared RStudio environment at https://r.amherst.edu. Users new to the R language may find the R intro or the student guide to be useful.
