zipfR: Word Frequency Modeling in R

We introduce the zipfR package, a powerful and user-friendly open-source tool for LNRE modeling of word frequency distributions in the R statistical environment. We give some background on LNRE models, discuss related software and the motivation for the toolkit, describe the implementation, and conclude with a complete sample session showing a typical LNRE analysis.
