Werner Schuster talks to Martin Hadley, data scientist at University of Oxford. They discuss the state of the R language, the rich R ecosystem that covers development (RStudio), notebooks for publication (R Notebooks, RPubs), writing web apps (Shiny), and the pros/cons of the different data frames implementations.
Why listen to this podcast:
- R is the tool for working with rectangular data
- Modern data frame implementations are Tibble and data.table (for large amounts of data)
- RMarkdown and R Notebooks allow to explore data and then publish it the results and (interactive) visualization
- Use Shinyapps to publish server side R applications
- Tidyverse is the place to look for modern R packages
