R Overview

PreviousTimelineNextInstallation

Last updated 6 months ago

R is a programming language that was developed by statisticians in the early 90s for use in the calculation and visualization of statistical applications. R is now one of the most widely used programming languages in the field of data science. Code in R does not have to be compiled, but can be used interactively and dynamically. This makes it possible to quickly gain basic knowledge about existing data and to display it graphically. R offers much more than just programming, but also a complete system for solving statistical problems. A large number of packages and interfaces are available, with which the functionality can be expanded and integration into other applications is made possible.
