Software:R

Introduction

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, ...) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible. Although R is not well-suited for HPC cluster, functionality and flexibility for data handling and analysis make it a essential tool for researcher from wide range of scientific discipline. In addition, R provide a large repository of user built packages suits for different range of applications.

You can run your R script from our Rstudio or through a batch script on compute nodes. Rstudio(https://login.cac.queensu.ca/rstudio/) provide our user with a IDE to develop and run your program on a webserver. But it is constrained in term of the available packages and the compute resource.
