RKWard

Easy-to-use frontend for the R statistics language

Visit RKWard

RKWard is an IDE and graphical interface for the R statistics language, designed to pair R's capabilities with a more approachable working environment. It addresses the need to run statistical analyses and create plots through dialogs and a spreadsheet-style editor while still retaining access to R code.

The application includes a spreadsheet-like data editor, syntax highlighting with code folding and completion, data import for SPSS, Stata and CSV files, a workspace browser, and package management for R packages. Plots can be previewed and revisited through a browsable history, and GUI dialogs are available for a range of statistics and plots. Functionality can be extended through plugins. RKWard runs on macOS, Windows and GNU/Linux, and is distributed as free software under the GNU General Public Licence.

It is aimed at users who want a graphical route to R-based statistics alongside direct code editing. The project is developed by a community of volunteers, and the site provides online user documentation for getting started.
