R is a free and open-source programming language and software environment for statistical analysis, graphics, and statistical computing. It was originally developed in the 1990s at Bell Laboratories by statisticians John Chambers and colleagues. Key points about R include that it is an interpreted language, supports functional programming, and is object-oriented. R can be used for tasks like statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning. It has a large community of users and developers contributing packages for specialized analysis techniques.

Why Using R

something else?
“I use R, and occasionally matlab, for data analysis. There is a
large, active and extremely knowledgeable R community at
Google.”

Data Scientist of these Companies
Using R
“Expert knowledge of SAS (With Enterprise
Guide/Miner) required and candidates with strong
knowledge of R will be preferred”
