As an open-source project, the R source code has always been available to download from the R-project website. You can find source code for the latest released version here, and for the changing-daily new version in progress (R-devel) here. But if you don't have the R sources handy, and just want to check on the contents of a file...

Second Milano R net meeting
Second Milano R net meeting took place on September, 27. More than thirty R users joining both the presentations session and the open bar. If you attended the meeting, please leave a comment in the page of the meeting. You … Continue reading →
Optimal seriation for your matrices
In our previous post, we used a quick-and-dirty method for ordering the axes on our heatmap. It has been pointed out to me that There is a Package for That (which is my nominee for a new slogan for R — not that it needs a slogan). seriation offe...

Reading and Text Mining a PDF-File in R
I just added this R-script that reads a PDF-file to R and does some text mining with it to my Github repo..
3-D animation of the changing Antarctic ice sheet
Last month we shared an visualization showing the changing extent of Arctic sea-ice. This visualization by the multinational Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) switches the view to the Southern pole and takes the visualization to a whole new level, by animating it in 3-D: The amount of sea ice in the Southern Ocean surrounding...
The simplest Species Distribution Model in OpenBUGS & R
This post demonstrates the simplest Species Distribution Model based on logistic regression for presence/absence data. I heavily simplified the example from Kéry (2010): Introduction to WinBUGS for Ecologists, Chapter 20.
Using R in Political Controversies: Unemployment Reduction Prowess Under Bush versus Obama Years
Editor’s note: R-bloggers does not take a political side. Since this is an important topic, this post has the comments turned on. Also, If you wish to write a reply post (which includes an R context), you are welcome to contact me to have it published. This post was written by Prof. H. D. Vinod. Fordham University, New York.
Continuous dispersal on a discrete lattice
Dispersal is a key process in many domains, and particularly in ecology. Individuals move in space, and this movement can be modelled as a random process following some kernel. The dispersal kernel is simply a probability distribution describing the distance travelled in a given time frame. Since space is continuous, it is natural to use 
Zero Inflated Models and Generalized Linear Mixed Models with R.
