Description
Our Monte Carlo code GamBet is all about statistics, and R is one of most powerful packages available for advanced statistical analysis. The match is perfect. Although there are many math programs available for personal computers, we recommend R for the following reasons:
- It is freely available for all computer platforms.
- It has a large international user base.
- R has powerful standard features with add-on packages for sophisticated work.
- A well-designed integrated development environment (RStudio) is available.
- There is a wealth of documentation, including textbooks and online references.
- GamBet and R can communicate directly.
We've written a tutorial to help you get a quick start. The 54-page book covers critical techniques to use R with GamBet and other technical programs through practical examples.
