As long as it's R that does the heavy liftting, using one of the many Python frameworks along with rpy2 would make the development easier.</shameless plug>

- hessenwolf 15y agoI'll second this. After pulling my hair out for a bit trying to get error messages out to see what wasn't working, we are calling R from python using rpy2, using the pylons web framework - so although we are writing html, we can write really nice reports conditional on the data content. It's not immediately clear to me whether Apache is opening up a new instance of R every time a page loads, but I think it seems not to be.
- hogu 15y agoor you can just do density estimation in python also and not use R at all
- hessenwolf 15y agoThere really is a lot of well tested and documented functionality in R that would be boring/time-consuming/inefficient to try to reproduce. I'm not exactly in love with the language, R syntax is fiddly, but I am in love with the libraries.
