Further Information

My principal research interests are statistical computing and graphics. You can get some idea of the sort of thing I do from the following references:
Ihaka, R. and Gentleman, R. (1996). "R: A language for data analysis and graphics," Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics 5, 299-314.
Gentleman, R. and Ihaka, R. (2000). "Lexical scope in statistical computing," Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics9, 491-508.
Murrell, P. and Ihaka, R. (2000). "An approach to mathematical annotation in graphs," Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics 9, 582-599.
One result of my research is a statistical software system called R. This is now ''all grown up'' and has taken on a life of its own. You can find out more about it at the R project website.
