I really like the R package and find it extremely useful. I also find the R project impossible to use as I am not a programmer. Is there a version of the R package that will run on OS X? _____________________________________________________ Randy Bangert Cortez, CO 81321 Northern Arizona University rkb at nau.edu http://oak.ucc.nau.edu/rkb/RKB/Home.html
Of course there is [1], but the fact that it works on a Mac does not change the fact that R is a programming language. Until you begin the process of becoming a programmer you won't be able to make much use of R regardless of which computer or operating system you run it on. Fortunately such a transformation is doable, but you have to believe it is possible or you won't work to make it happen... and transformation does take some work.

Some of us who are running R on Macs chose to do so at a time when Windoze machines were limited to 4G (actually 2.5 Gigs effectively) and we wanted a bit more headroom for larger objects. (I started back in the days of CP/M.) It wasn't the possibility of having dropdown menus, but rather the fact that it was a reasonable GUI bolted on top of a Unix box. If you want dropdown menus, then consider the Rcmdr package which runs in all of the three strains of OSes that are supported by the R Core. The RStudio effort is also a nice facility to ease the transition to "real programming". But if you really don't want to exert any effort and simply want a "non-programming package", then buy a seat for the JMP program. (Not cheap.) -- David.> > -- > Sent from my phone.

Your distinction makes no sense to me. "Package" in the context of R is a set of useful related functions usable within R. There is no "R" package in this sense. "Package" is also sometimes used to refer to installable software. The link I pointed you to has just such an item, specifically for MacOSX. So... can you clarify what you really mean? -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Google turned up [1], but it is old and advertised as alpha. Perhaps someone with a Mac can add more clarity.
