[R] Is there someone working on an R interface for Numerical Recipes?

[Timothy H. Keitt]

I would recommend the GNU Scientific Library 
(http://sources.redhat.com/gsl/) over Numerical Recipes. The general 
concensus is that the NR code is pretty poor quality (and the algorithms 
are a bit out-of-date as well).
