About R AnalyticFlow

R AnalyticFlow allows a wide variety of data analysis by drawing flowcharts. Each process in a flowchart is written in the "R language", a powerful programming language for data analysis. A flowchart is transformed into R script by "running" it, and executed by the R system. Once a flowchart is drawn it is easy to run, so you can effectively share processes of data analysis even with non-R-user.

More than 2,000 (In Nov 2009) additional packages for R are available, where state-of-the-art data analysis methods for various domains are implemented. In addition, transformation between R scripts and flowcharts is supported. R AnalyticFlow makes the great data analysis engine R more useful and convenient.
