R Language: So let’s, 1st know the definition or purpose of programming language R. This language was developed by Mr. Ross Ihaka and Mr. Robert Gentleman, who was associated with the Department of Statistics within UoA (University of Auckland). The initial release of the R version in August 1993 allowed statisticians’ students and other users to learn programming skills which ultimately help in analyzing statistical on complex data analysis and graphical representation. Both the developer kept this language name on the first letter of their name “R”, R-oss and R-obert.
R language includes functioning to support various statistical methods for example
1. Linear Modeling Method
2. Non-Linear Modeling Method
3. Classifications Method
4. Classical Statistics Method
5. Clustering Method and much more
This language is more popular among the student’s cause of its robust features and due to its open-source software version. It is free to download in terms of the Free Software Foundation (FSF) as a general public license. This language support and can run on all type of popular operating systems Windows, Mac OS & Linux.
R allowed users to use their own syntax, functions, and code. The R environment allows users to combine their individual needs, which may include adding different data set files into one file of the document. Its also allows users to pull out a single variable from the data set and by running a regression, single function/code can be used multiple time in the R environment.
In the present world, the demand for the R language has gradually extended from students to business setups, institutes are also giving training to their students of data analysts, students who trained on R more favorable to continue using this language rather than pick up new software or tool with which they have not taken any experienced.
R has built with the standard command-line interface. Users control this to read data and load it to the language interface, specify commands, and achieve desired results. R environments can be used after thru commands for Arithmetical Operators, that include +, -, / and *, to more complex functions that act upon the Linear Regressions and more advanced calculations. The looping functions are also trendy in the R programming environment.
All the above functions/commands allow users to repeat the same action without any hassles and in a smoother manner. With the loop function, users can pull out the samples from a bigger data set basis the timeline set by the user to a specific task.
Like every language R also have few Advantage and Disadvantage in it.
It holds a much bigger library of statistical packages – Making specialized statistical jobs. R has multiple packages with a wide range of statistical tasks by using the CRAN task view.
In the Toto, we can say R packages also cover all from Psychometrics to Genetics to Finance.
Nowadays various software service providers have also added their support for R language into their offerings, allowing R to gain stronger footprints in the modern Data Analyst structure and big data dominion. The service providers offering support to R functions included big giants like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAS Institute, TIBCO, and Tableau. Other small software players have also included R language integration in between their analytics software and the R programming language. As there are R packages available for successful open-source huge data programs, having Hadoop and Spark.
It is Gudtoknow that now R language has the ability to perform all statistical tasks. R is almost unique among all other programming languages available for Data Analysts it is meant for all levels of Data Miners.
WE CAN ALSO SAY DATA IS DEEPLY INSERTED IN BLOOD OF THIS LANGUAGE
