Subject: Symbolic equations to R code?
In-Reply-To: <7E8D730B-BBB1-4A5A-B3CA-CAB52E1A0B0E@comcast.net>
David, Thanks for your reply and suggestions of packages - let me
clarify what I am looking for:
The web editor you pointed out is the sort of equation editor I'm
looking for and I had seen others like this. Let's say I use that one
(step 1) and then have Latex code (step 2). Step (3) would be
converting the Latex into an R function automatically. That's the key
package. In searching for Latex and R there seem to be lots of ways to
embed R code into Latex but not to translate Latex into R.
As far as R commander, I do indeed know about that and am not looking
for an R GUI for my students. They are not going be learning R in the
class. As far as I know, R commander can't do steps 1-3, but please let
me know if I am wrong. After students use the interface in step (1),
the software in steps (2) and (3) would be for my benefit, to
programmatically translate the equations of 150+ students into R code.
Thanks,
Scott
