Description:
 RKWard aims to provide an easily extensible, easy
to use IDE/GUI for the R-project. RKWard strives
to combine the power of the R-language with the
(relative) ease of use of commercial statistical
packages. While RKWard is far from finished, it is
already useful to R experts looking for an IDE
interface to the R language. For R novices, it
provides graphical dialogs for a limited but
growing number of statistical and graphing
features.
