Sweave: Dynamic Generation of Statistical Reports Using Literate Data Analysis

Sweave combines typesetting with LTEX and data anlysis with S into integrated statistical documents. When run through R or Splus, all data analysis output (tables, graphs, . . . ) is created on the fly and inserted into a final LTEX document. Options control which parts of the original S code are shown to or hidden from the reader, respectively. Many S users are also LTEX users, hence no new software has to be learned. The report can be automatically updated if data or analysis change, which allows for truly reproducible research.
