/**
 * Main interface to R. This requires native R libraries and rJava to be installed. From the R
 * console enter:
 * <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>install.packages('rJava')</em></p>
 * <p>When running the Java code, you need to add the R and rJava libraries to the library path.
 * For example on windows, add
 * <em>-Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files (x86)\R\R-2.10.1\library\rJava\jri"</em>.  On
 * Unix, add the R and JRI paths to the <em>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</em> environment variable.
