Also, if you are using models and algorithms on the backend, R is painful compared to python.
If you are just doing interactive work RStudio and jupyter with well-stocked support libraries are about equivilant to me.
If you want to do something not all that popular (eg. conjoint analysis) or something cutting edge (duplicating recent research results), R is pretty much the only way to go.
- tnecniv 10y agoIf you want to do something not all that popular (eg. conjoint analysis) or something cutting edge (duplicating recent research results), R is pretty much the only way to go. Why? Shouldn't you be able to do that in Python (or MATLAB if that's your thing)?
- mhuffman 10y agoYou sure can! Except you will likely have to roll your own, rather than the plug-and-play modules that seem to be released for R first (used to be MATLAB, but R seems to be the pretty new girl in class, getting all the attention).
