How To Download R Statistical Software For Mac



Free statistical software: EZR on R commander R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics.R supports many functions for statistical analyses, but it does not incorporatestatistical graphical user interface (GUI). The R commander provides aeasy-to-use basic-statistics GUI to R based on Tcl/Tk language. However,the statistical function of the R commander is limited, especially in thefield of biostatistics. Therfore, we added statistical functions, includingsurvival analyses, ROC analyses, metaanalyses, sample size calculation,and so on, to the R commander. We named it 'EZR' (Easy R) andwe are distributing it on this page. EZR can import Excel files, CSV files,Stata files, and so on. EZR is now available on CRAN (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) as 'RcmdrPlugin.EZR' package. Contact address: Yoshinobu Kanda, M.D., saitama-hem@jichi.ac.jp.

A complete manual of EZR is available only in Japanese (Chugai Igakusha,ISBN978-4-498-10901-8), but a report that introduced the investigationof EZR was published in Bone Marrow Transplantation (Nature PublishingGroup) as an Open article. It can be freely downloaded from the journal website (Kanda Y. Investigation of the freely available easy-to-usesoftware ‘EZR’ for medical statistics. Bone Marrow Transplantation 2013:48,452-458 advance online publication 3 December 2012; doi: 10.1038/bmt.2012.244). This paper has been cited in more than 4000 articles at September, 2020.
Please cite this report as a reference for scientific papers in whichEZR is used as a statistical software.
 In addition, Professor Minato Nakazawa (Kobe Univ. Grad. School Heallth Sci.) is providing an excellent manual for the use of R and EZR in medical statics on his homepage. It can be downloaded from the link below. (He told me that there may be some typos and mistakes, which will be fixed in the future.)

The problem

RStudio and R cannot update on their own because some packages may not work after switching to the new version (You can still downgrade R version in RStudio if something went wrong though). After you install the new version, the previously installed packages will not go to next version. So it is required extra procedures to move the packages.

Here are 3 ways you can update R version in RStudio. Note that we need to move the install R packages, which I will show how at the end.

3 Solutions to update R on RStudio

Solution 1) Manually install (Recommended if you don't care about the old packages)

The first method is to download a new version of R from R website > CRAN. Then restart your RStudio. The new R version will be loaded automatically.

The new R version appear right after I install R and restart RStudio

Update 29/05/2019: For Mac users, solution 3 is too painful and not working well for me. This method is fast and working well. I would recommend to save your time from headache and use this method. Take note of your previous packages so you can install them again as needed.

Solution 2) Windows only – use installr

installr is the R package which helps install and update software.

Solution 3) Mac only – use updateR

Similar to installr, updateR is the package to help updating R on Mac OS.

The R code you will need is these 5 lines: (credit goes to jroberayalas for the code)
