The R Project is a collaborative project that provides a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is widely used among statisticians and data miners for data analysis and developing statistical software.

The R Project

The R Foundation was founded by the members of the R Core Team to

1. Provide support for the R project and other innovations in statistical computing;
2. Provide a reference point for individuals, institutions or commercial enterprises that want to support or interact with the R development community, and
3. Hold and administer the copyright of R software and documentation. 

Among the goals of the R Foundation are the support of continued development of R, the exploration of new methodology, teaching and training of statistical computing and the organization of meetings and conferences with a statistical computing orientation.
