What are the Benefits of R programming Language

-

R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics 

 supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among 

 statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis

Now if we talk about the BENEFITS of the R programming language, then I must say this language has a great demand in today's TECH world.

How companies are using R
  • Ford uses R to improve the design of its vehicles.
  • Basically, Twitter uses R to monitor user experience.
  • The US National Weather Service uses R to predict severe flooding.
  • The Human Rights Data Analysis Group uses R to quantify the impact of war.
  • R is being used by The New York Times to create infographics.
  • Google uses R to calculate the ROI of advertising campaigns.
    • More Use Cases of R Language
    a. Facebook
    Basically, Facebook uses R to update Facebook status updates and its social network graph. Also, for predicting colleague interactions with R, Facebook uses it.
    b. Ford Motor Company
    As Ford relies on Hadoop. Also, R for statistical analysis and data-driven decision support.
    c. Google
    Basically, Google uses R to calculate ROI on advertising campaigns, to predict economic activity. Also to improve the efficiency of online advertising.
    d. Foursquare
    As R is an important stack behind Foursquare’s famed recommendation engine.
    e. John Deere
    Basically, Statisticians at John Deere use R for time series modelling. Also, geospatial analysis in a reliable and reproducible way. The results are then integrated with Excel and SAP.
    f. Microsoft
    Microsoft uses R for the Xbox matchmaking service. Also, as a statistical engine within the Azure ML framework.
    g. Mozilla
    Generally, it is the foundation behind the Firefox web browser, uses R to visualize Web activity.
    h. New York Times
    Basically, R is used in the news cycle at The New York Times to crunch data and prepare graphics before they go to print or online.
    i. Thomas Cook
    Thomas Cook uses R for Prediction. Also, Fuzzy Logic to automate price settings of their last-minute offers.
    j. National Weather Service
    Basically, the National Weather Service uses R at its River Forecast Centers. Thus, it is used to generate graphics for flood forecasting.
    k. Twitter
    R is part of Twitter’s Data Science toolbox for sophisticated statistical modelling.
    l. Trulia
    Trulia, the real-estate analysis website uses R for predicting house prices and local crime rate.
    m. ANZ Bank
    ANZ, the fourth largest bank in Australia uses R for its credit risk analysis.
    So finally, we can surely conclude that R language has its own significance in the field of today's Programming World and here lie all its benefits.

"ATTENTION TO RESPECTIVE READERS" THIS CONTENT IS GOING TO BE QUITE DIFFERENT THAN OUR OTHER ARTICLES. IN THIS POST OUR FOCUS IS ON THE MOST FRUITFUL WEAPON FOR PROGRAMMERS i.e.PROGRAMMING LAPTOPS.  Key Points for a Good Coding Laptop 1. GOOD PROCESSOR 2.ENOUGH RAM(i.e.8GB&up) 3. GOOD SSD 4. PORTABILITY (weight range 1.5-2 kg) 5. SIMPLE LOOK&MECHANISM 6. BRANDED 7. MODERATE SCREEN SIZE 8. AFFORDABLE PRICE 9. MORE HARD DRIVE SPACE(nearly 1TB) 10. GOOD FOR GAMING( Since they tend to be optimized for performance,  gaming laptops  double as some of the best options for  programming ) 11. LONG TERM BATTERY LIFE & LESS HEATING EFFECT NOW IN THIS ARTICLE, I WILL NOT CATEGORIZE LAPTOPS AS PER THEIR PRICES. A DECENT PRICE OF ~1600$. A THE LAPTOP IS RAZOR BLADE THINNEST GAMING LAPTOP. NOW YOU MAY WONDER WHY GAMING LAPTOP? IT's TOTALLY YOUR OWN CHOICE. IF YOU ARE NOT HABITUATED or UNLIKE GAMING, THEN YOU CAN GO AHEAD FOR MORE AFFORD...
