[R] Formula documentation

[Data Analytics Corp.]

Hi,

I recall that the form for an R formula statement has a formal name and 
a reference, perhaps in the computer science area.  I'm referring to a 
statement such as Y ~ x1 + x2 + x3.  Does anyone know the name for this 
form and where it came from?  I would like to use this in a presentation 
I'm planning.

Thanks,

Walt
