Name : R
Product : Fedora 7
Version : 2.5.1
Release : 1.fc7
Summary : A language for data analysis and graphics
Description :
A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at
Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide
variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and
nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis,
classification, clustering, ...).
R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. For
computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked
and called at run time.

Update Information:
R updated to 2.5.1:
FEDORA/LINUX RELEVANT BUG FIXES
o as.dendrogram() failed on objects of class "dendrogram".
o plot(type ="s") (or "S") with many (hundreds of thousands)
of points could overflow the stack. (PR#9629)
o Coercing an S4 classed object to "matrix" (or other basic
class) failed to unset the S4 bit.
o The 'useS4' argument of print.default() had been broken by an
unrelated change prior to 2.4.1. This allowed print() and
show() to bounce badly constructed S4 objects between
themselves indefinitely.
o Prediction of the seasonal component in HoltWinters() was one
step out at one point in the calculations.
o decompose() incorrectly computed the 'random' component for a
multiplicative fit.
o Wildcards work again in unlink() on Unix-alikes (they did not
in 2.5.0).
o When qr() used pivoting, the coefficient names in qr.coef()
were not pivoted to match. (PR#9623)
o UseMethod() could crash R if the first argument was not a
character string.
o R and Rscript on Unix-alikes were not accepting spaces in -e
arguments (even if quoted).
o Rd conversion of \usage treated '\\' as a single backslash in
all but latex: it now acts consistently with the other
verbatim-like environments (it was never 'verbatim' despite
the documentation).
o \code{\.} is now rendered as '\.' in all formats, as
documented (it was not the case for latex conversion).
o codoc() (and checkDocStyle() and checkDocUsage()) now apply
the same transformations to \usage as Rd conversion does,
so {, % and \\ in strings in usages will now be related
correctly to the help files.
o rbind() failed if the only data frame had 0 rows. (PR#9657)
o <a data.frame>[i, j] could sometimes select the wrong column
when j is numeric if there are duplicate column names.
o sample(x, size, replace=TRUE, prob) had a memory leak if
10000 < size <= 100000.
o x <- cbind(1:2); rownames(x) <- factor(c("A",NA)) now longer
segfaults.
o median() returned a logical result when it was 'NA': it now
returns an NA of appropriate type (e.g. integer or double).
o grep(fixed = TRUE, perl = TRUE) ignored 'fixed', although it
was documented to ignore 'perl'
Same for [g]regexpr and [g]sub.
o getNamespaceExports("base") works again.
o runmed(c(), 1) no longer segfaults.
o qr.coef(QR, b) failed for an LAPACK-produced QR if b was
integer or for an over-determined system.
qr.solve() for an under-determined system produces a
solution with 0 and not NA for columns which are unused.
o segments() was not handling full transparency correctly in
PDF. (PR#9694)
Nor was arrows().
o callGeneric() inside a method with extra arguments {and hence
currently defined via .local()} now works.
o [g]sub(fixed=TRUE, useBytes=FALSE) could substitute in the
wrong place in an MBCS locale.
gregexpr() could give incorrect answers in MBCS locales for
perl = TRUE or fixed = TRUE (unless useBytes = TRUE).
o The legacy quartz() device no longer crashes in locator()
if the user attempts to close the window.
o "CGGStackRestore: gstack underflow" warning is no longer
shown in legacy quartz() device.
o seq.int(x, y, by=z) gave 'x' (and not an error) if
0 > (y-x)/z > -1.
o promptClass() now lists methods, including those for generics
in other attached packages.
o Connection-related functions such as readBin() no longer
crash when supplied with a non-connection object.
o as.character.srcref() didn't handle bad srcref objects
cleanly.
o predict.nls() no longer requires 'newdata' to contain exactly
the variable names needed to fit the model: variables used on
the LHS only are no longer required and further variables are
allowed.
o plot.hclust() had a 'out by one' error, and ignored the last
object when computing the window region (and could overrun
arrays).
o deriv() was creating results with double (and not integer)
dims.
o The unserialize code (e.g. as called by load()) looked for a
function findPackageEnv() to set a saved package environment.
This was missing, but is now supplied.
o [cr]bind could segfault when creating a list matrix result.
(Reported by Martin Morgan.)
o besselI(x, nu, exp=TRUE) and besselY(x, nu) could give wrong
answers for nu < 0. (Reported by Hiroyuki Kawakatsu.)
