INTRODUCTION

• R is a programming language and software environment for


statistical analysis, graphics representation and reporting.

• R: initially written by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at Dep. of


Statistics of U of Auckland, New Zealand during 1990s.

• The core of R is an interpreted computer language which allows


branching and looping as well as modular programming using functions.
WHY R IS BECOMING POPULAR?

• R is capable of providing various benefits and covering


all the important issues that make it ideal for Data
Science operations. There are also various groups,
seminars and boot camps that are being organized
around the world that facilitate R education
throughout the world.
R HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER IN THE
ANALYTICS INDUSTRY

• R is an open-source language that is contributed to


developers and programmers from all around the world. It
is continuously expanding and people from the whole world
are contributing to its development. This has resulted in R
becoming a state of the art programming language.
• Due to its platform independence, diversity of packages,
and robust graphical features, it has become the primary
tool for the analytics industry.
JOB ROLES IN R

• Being an R programmer does not only guarantee jobs in the IT industry but also
there are several industries that are making use of data to transform problems
into solutions. Some of the areas where R applicants are most in-demand are as
follows:
• Financial Sectors
• Banks
• Health Organisations
• Manufacturing Companies
• Academia 
• Governmental departments
JOB ROLES IN R

• R programmers are most in-demand, especially in


emerging startups. Some of the positions that are
available for the R programmers are as follows:
• Data Scientist
• Business Analyst
• Data Analyst
• Data Visualization Expert
• Quantitative Analyst
APPLICATION OF R
R IN RESEARCH AND ACADEMICS

• R is a statistical research tool. It is still used by


statisticians and students to perform various statistical
computations and analyses
R IN IT SECTOR

• IT companies not only use R for their own business


intelligence but offer such services to other small,
medium and large scale businesses as well. They use it
for their machine learning products too.
R IN FINANCE

• R and data science find widespread use in the finance


sector. R provides an advanced statistical suite for all
the financial tasks and computations. Moving
averages, auto-regression, time-series analysis, stock-
market modeling, financial data mining, downside risk
assessment are all easily done through R and its
libraries.
