Abstract

R is a programming language and environment that is a central tool in the applied sciences for writing program. Its impact on the development of modern statistics is inevitable. Current research, especially for big data may not be done solely using R and will likely use different programming languages; hence, having a modern integrated development environment (IDE) is very important. Atom editor is modern IDE that is developed by GitHub, it is described as "A hackable text editor for the 21st Century". This report is intended to present a package deployed entitled Rbox that allows Atom Editor to write and run codes professionally in R.
