R for Statistical Computing

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS.

A good introduction to R can be read from J. Verzani in Simple R: Using R for Introductory Statistics.

For a detailed description on how to read and write data, R Data Import/Export, by the R Development Core Team, can be read. Another good resource is Using R to Teach Econometrics, by J. Racine and R. J. Hyndman.
