### DESCRIPTION

RinRuby is a Ruby library that integrates the R interpreter in Ruby, making R's statistical routines and graphics available within Ruby.  The library consists of a single Ruby script that is simple to install and does not require any special compilation or installation of R.  Since the library is 100% pure Ruby, it works on a variety of operating systems, Ruby implementations, and versions of R.  RinRuby's methods are simple, making for readable code.  The [website *rinruby.ddahl.org*](http://rinruby.ddahl.org) describes RinRuby usage, provides comprehensive documentation, gives several examples, and discusses RinRuby's implementation.

### FEATURES/PROBLEMS

* Pure Ruby. Works on Ruby 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 and JRuby-head (2018/03/29). There isn't any specific code that impides to use Ruby < 2.0, but is deprecated.

* Slower than RSRuby, but more robust

### SYNOPSIS

Below is a simple example of RinRuby usage for simple linear regression. The simulation parameters are defined in Ruby, computations are performed in R, and Ruby reports the results. In a more elaborate application, the simulation parameter might come from input from a graphical user interface, the statistical analysis might be more involved, and the results might be an HTML page or PDF report. 

#### Code

      require "rinruby"

      n = 10

      beta_0 = 1

      beta_1 = 0.25

      alpha = 0.05

      seed = 23423

      R.x = (1..n).entries

      R.eval <
