R..eal - Integrative statistics with R.

R..eal is an integrative approach to statistical computing in logic programming.
It allows the seamless integration of R code with modern Prolog systems.

R..eal works on current versions of SWI and Yap. It uses R's C interface to efficiently
exchange data between Prolog and the R executable which is ran as an OS shared library.

Install

SWI

R..eal can be installed from within SWI using its package manager.

?- pack_install(real).

And then load by :

?- [library(real)].

To install a source distribution:

?- pack_install( 'the_source.tgz' ).

To install from git, replace the pack installed prolog/real.pl and c/real.c. Then:

?- pack_rebuild( real ).

Yap

Yap binaries include r..eal (libary(real)), although these are likely to be older versions.

Yap sources include r..eal as a package. Include it in the built by using:

../configure --with-R

To build the release or git sources, replace packages/real with the desired version and build with the configure shown above.
