You forgot time series analysis where Python is years behind R. Robust regression methods too. But most of all, Shiny! Python's Dash for creating interactive data web apps is absolutely horrible compared to Shiny.
Basically if you were to go down any unbeaten path when it comes to statistical models, you're better off using R. But if your main goal is pushing to something prod, then you're better off with Python. The only exception being Shiny, they've put a lot of effort into making it production-ready.
- jerjerjer 6y ago> You forgot time series analysis where Python is years behind R What does R offer? In Python there's SARIMAX and Prophet, interested in what R has to offer. Also interested in a decent Grid Search for time series.
- thenipper 6y agoYou can use Prophet in R for sure
- minimaxir 6y agoR also has prophet, with some native ggplot2 integrations. https://facebook.github.io/prophet/docs/quick_start.html#r-api https://facebook.github.io/prophet/docs/quick_start.html#r-a...
- jerjerjer 6y agoThanks, but I'm more interested in what R has on time series, which Python does not. Just checked Prophet source code and it looks like there are actually 2 implementations in the same repo: one for R and one for Python. I thought it would have been the usual C/C++ implementation with 2 bindings. I wonder why they chose to develop it this way.
- dash2 6y agoR has the builtin ts library, and also see this Task View with literally hundreds of packages: https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/TimeSeries.html https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/TimeSeries.html
- bllguo 6y agotidyverts and fable are very nice, though I'd also be interested in seeing what others have to say, as I don't do much timeseries analysis. Prophet pretty much covers all my use cases thus far
