iL04

iL04 is an R package that offers functions to import and export several file formats between R and the RuG/L04 software, as well as a few tools for visualisation. To make full use of this package you need the MASS package as well.

MASS is installed by default with recent versions of R.

I would appreciate if anyone who downloads this software would drop me a message, and tell me briefly what he or she is using the software for, and how useful the software is. Please write to: p.c.j.kleiweg@rug.nl
