Commercial R Validation & Support

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. R can be considered as a distinct implementation of S and although there are some important differences between these two implementations, much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling, classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification, clustering, etc) and graphical techniques and is readily extensible. The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical methodology and R provides an open source route to participation in that activity.

One of R's strengths is the ease with which well designed publication-quality plots can be produced, including mathematical symbols and formulae where needed. Great care has been taken over the design choices in graphics, but the user retains full control.

Tailored R Validation Service

Over recent years the R language has rapidly grown into the premier statistical software of choice. Today, the R language incorporates many efficient algorithms with new cutting-edge functionality

However, many commercial organisations, such as those in the heavily regulated pharmaceutical and financial industries, require higher levels of software validation to be be met for open source software. Additionally, sufficient controls need to be put into place to ensure the ongoing quality of work produced in the R language.

Mango have been providing R services to commercial companies for many years, backed by a full set of quality procedures that ensure validation standards are maintained. As a provider of R services, Mango have passed many vendor audits, resulting in a set of quality procedures that are able to balance the validation of the R language within a commercial setting against the benefits of a fast evolving software.

The Validation Services around R provided by Mango include:

• Provision of enhanced R builds

• Installation and qualification services

• Validation of new packages

• Ongoing first line support

• Consulting & Training

• Version upgrade services

• Validation Engine to provide inline OQ reports

• Documentation & process definition services

Due to Mango’s extensive knowledge and understanding of the strict regulations involved across a variety of industries, we are able to provide compliant life cycle support to both business and IT functional areas for the validation of R.
