Homework 5. Stat 540 Spring 1999.

There are no deliverables for this homework, but I will assume that you are able to do each of the tasks when I talk this Friday.

Task. Familiarize yourself with R. How?

• Identify online resources related to R.
• Read a set of commands from an input file and have R excecute them (use the source command).
• Write output from R to a file (use the sink command).
• Make sure you fire up R from a Perl script and read in an input file of R commands.
• Consider how you might make your output from R more "WEB" readable.
  Essentially, most R objects have a "print" method. For each object we care about returning to the user we will need to write a print.html method, which will output in a format suitable for reading over the WEB.
