http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2012/06/applications-of-r-in-government.html- In the early days of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, NIST used
uncertainty analysis in R to harmonize spill estimates from various
sources, and to provide ranges of estimates to other agencies and the
media.
- Before new drugs are allowed on the market, the FDA works with
pharmaceutical companies to verify safety and efficacy through
clinical trials. Despite a false perception that only commercial
software may be used, many pharmaceutical companies are now using
open-source R to analyze data from clinical trials.
- The National Weather Service uses R for research and development of
models to predict river flooding.
- The newly-formed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau -- freed from
the restrictions of a legacy IT infrastructure -- is championing the
use of open-source technologies in government.
- Local governments are also building data-based applications. The SF
Estuary Institute uses R and Google Maps to provide a tool to track
pollution in the San Francisco Bay area.
