R code in Sweave

I have a scientific paper under review, and a referee asked for my R code to be provided as a Sweave document. I've never heard of Sweave开发者_如何学运维 before, do you know what's the better way to do it?

Thanks a lot :-)

This seems a very unusual request in my opinion. I can understand a referee expecting you to provide reproducible code, but requiring a specific format is over-the-top. I would respond by providing your code. Sweave is not standard practice for academic journals.

A quick google can lead you to a lot of good resources:

• http://www.stat.uni-muenchen.de/~leisch/Sweave/
• http://www.stat.umn.edu/~charlie/Sweave/

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweave

See my answer to this question: Getting R plots into LaTeX?

I personally recommend using either LyX or Eclipse (with StatET and TeXlipse) for this, although there are many options for editing LaTeX out there.

Edit:

If your script takes a long time to run, then you can also look at the cacheSweave package.
