Application software R in archaeology

Today's world is rapidly becoming a large statistical society in which the


concept of data has given a new form to human values. Scientific data is used
by methods such as sampling, summarizing and analyzing and deducing the
processing of these data with great speed and accuracy. Since the human mind is
incapable of processing large volumes of data and its complexity, and it has
been mistaken, it has been for decades that statistical software is used to carry
out scientific research. One of the most popular statistical software can be
SPSS, SAS, STATA, Minitab and R. One of the most widely used software is
R. The ability of the smallest volume is the most important feature of this
software. The R project was launched in 1995 and two individuals named
Robert Gentelman and Ross Aichka. This software, which is a good
environment for statistical computations and charting, is an object-oriented
mathematical programming language written in S language. R has quickly
swept through the world of science due to its abundant capabilities and an open
source environment. Meanwhile, archaeological knowledge has not been used
by today's software and has become a full-fledged customer. Examples of R
applications in archeology can be exemplified from simple analyzes to
improved data mining and graphical representation of data. Although SPSS
software is more commonly used by archaeologists because of their ease of use,
the limited use of these applications has led to gradual attention to R software
for reasons such as having open text and the ability to install on most systems.
Increasing factor. Also, there are a lot of software packages that can be installed
on a variety of applications, which can be greatly appreciated. One recent article
in which R application in pomegranate archeology can be pointed out is the
process of resetting mother parts isolated from statistical calculations of cluster
analysis in software R. In this way, they have been able to demonstrate different
pathways for the reduction of the levallois's mother cone.
