Statistics
R is mainly known as the language of statistics. It is the main reason why R is predominant than other programming languages for the development of statistical tools.
-
The array of packages
R has a rich set of packages. R has over 10,000 packages in the CRAN repository which are constantly growing. R provides packages for data science and machine learning operations.
-
Quality plotting and graphing
R simplifies quality plotting and graphing. R libraries such as ggplot2 and plotly advocates for visually appealing and aesthetic graphs which set R apart from other programming languages.
-
Exemplary support for data wrangling
R allows us to perform data wrangling. R provides packages such as dplyr, readr which are capable of transforming messy data into a structured form.
-
Machine Learning Operations
R allows us to do various machine learning operations such as classification and regression. For this purpose, R provides various packages and features for developing the artificial neural network. R is used by the best data scientists in the world.
-
Platform Independent
R is a platform-independent language or cross-platform programming language which means its code can run on all operating systems. R enables programmers to develop software for several competing platforms by writing a program only once. R can run quite easily on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
-
Open Source
An open-source language is a language on which we can work without any need for a license or a fee. R is an open-source language. We can contribute to the development of R by optimizing our packages, developing new ones, and resolving issues.
