Redpill me on R

I have to learn the basics of this for my post-grad.
Redpill me Jow Forums.

better than matlab and breddy good (GOAT) for graphs

Yeah I've already noticed the graphs look beaut.
Rstudio even seems to render the font on them better than the linux distro im running desu.

Learn Python instead

Learn Julia instead

I already know Python. But I was forced to enrol in a unit for R.

not very intuitive, but if my statistics teacher tought me anything then R is the ultimate weapon

also look into R Studio, makes a lot of things easier

Julia is like Rust for statisticians. No one actually uses it for real projects.

LMAO

R is awesome but horrendous at the same time. When you start caring about performance, you'll get to see why it's horrendous. But it's the best for stats and it's not at all close.

basically shits on everything including python w/ matplotlib

>No one actually uses it for real projects.
By design, just like R. Scientific computing isn't real projects, silly samefag.

what's with all the julia shilling lately?
It's a dead language.

It's very similar to how the Pandas library works in Python. Pretty much everything revolves around the "dataframe" object. And watch out for creepy guys in bow ties.

It's fine

R + tidyverse amazing for any kind of data reshaping and analysis - a lot better than python + pandas + numpy imo

Also shiny is pretty cool

sonny everyone worth their salt in data science (the only field that matters) are jumping to scala.
So much for your dreamed shining moment
>b-b-but they will start using Julia soon
>just wait... next year users will increase another 0.5% :)
>what? Who cares about scala gettin +800% users last year?

Luke Smith has some introductory videos on his youtube channel

this. I love/hate R. It’s a language written by a statistician so it’s great for graphing and stats, even better than python.

Python > *

I use it to replace Excel when I need to make graphs. The language is easy enough that you don't really have to learn it.

Do all your data processing in python, then do graphs charting and visualizations in R

Theres a library to call R from python. Doing everything in R is a clusterfuck

t. Quant data scientist at hedge fund, this is how we do things.
