Why we use R:
} Availability
R programming language is open
source. This makes it highly cost effective for a project of any size. Since it
is open source, developments in R happen at a rapid scale and the community of developers
is huge
} Data
wrangling
Data wrangling is the process of
cleaning messy and complex data sets to enable convenient consumption and
further analysis. This is a very important and time taking process in data
science. R has an extensive library of tools for database manipulation and
wrangling. For Example dplyr,stingr.
} Data
visualization
Data visualization is the visual
representation of data in graphical form. This allows analyzing data from
angles which are not clear in unorganized or tabulated data. R has many tools
that can help in data visualization, analysis, and representation.
} Specificity
R is a language designed especially
for statistical analysis and data reconfiguration. All the R libraries focus on
making one thing certain - to make data analysis easier, more approachable and
detailed. Any new statistical method is first enabled through R libraries. This
makes R a perfect choice for data analysis and projection
} Machine
learning
In data science, a programmer needs
to train the algorithm and bring in automation and learning capabilities to
make predictions possible. R provides ample tools to developers to train and
evaluate an algorithm and predict future events. Some popular packages for
this are third party.
} Academia
R is a very popular language in
academia. Many researchers and scholars use R for experimenting with data science. Members of
the R community are very active and supporting and they have a great knowledge
of statistics as well as programming
