[R] Connect to Visual? and Bench Mark
Hi, Is there any possible way to connect to VB, VC++, Delphi, Python, etc... to R? I am trying to put some nice GUI using something like VB and use R as a back end for computations. I search through the FAQ and help archive, but could not find any. I am willing to look at any tools on Sun/Solaris environment as well (Like C or Python or Perl). If anyone can share some examples, pls let me know. Thanks much in advance, BTW: Does anyone also know of good bench mark done versus Splus? I only found> mlbench-0.1 -- machine learning benchmark problemsusing hot-bot. ************************************************************** S.

There has been some work done by John Lapeyre on using R as the backend for the perl data language (pdl). I believe he was not working through sockets or anything like that. He was using the R source code. Package: r-pdl Section: math Installed-Size: 982 Maintainer: John Lapeyre <lapeyre at physics.arizona.edu> Version: 0.2-2 Depends: pdl Description: 'R' statistics for the perl data language r-pdl is an interface to a collection of about 100 routines from the R statistics language, for pdl, the perl data language. The routines give information and random deviates from common distributions used in statistics. Provisions for a user defined random number generator have been added to the original R code. You can get the source code for this off any Debian GNU/Linux archive, such as ftp.debian.org. From the top of the archive the path will look like debian/dists/slink/main/source/math/r-pdl_0.2-2.tar.gz Recently Thomas Lumley announced a sockets library for R. I'm not sure if that allows R to act as a server. Perhaps Thomas can comment. Another, related project called omega (http://omega.stat.wisc.edu/) is just underway. A goal of that project is to provide distributed statistical computing through CORBA modules. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
