Running R on a web server (June 17, 2008).
I'm working on a project for planning and monitoring accrual patterns in
clinical trials. This will eventually lead, I hope, to a grant to support this
work. I have some existing R scripts and want to examine the possibility of
running those scripts on a web page.
The R FAQ has a section on this.
There are a variety of solutions, using
CGI,
Java,
JavaScript, and
PHP. I'll investigate these,
but the one that seems to be the best fit is rwui.
A nice description of this package appears in the October 2007 issue of R
News.
Another possible candidate is CGIwithR. A paper in the Journal of
Statistical Software describes this system.
