Does anyone have extensive experience with Pandas vs R?
I'm a long term R user, though I'm not exactly a pro and I honestly don't really like some aspects of it. I've looked a little at Pandas and it seems to do some things a lot better than R. My only grip is that the Python environment is a lot more of a PITA than R's CRAN system.
Does anyone have some insight?
- shitforbrains 13y agoYes. I switched to Python/Pandas this Spring and haven't looked back. In my opinion, between Pandas, iPython, and Scitkit-Learn, Data Science has taken a large step toward Python as the defacto language. If you find the Python environment a PITA, try anaconda's free distro: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/ It includes everything you'll need for 95% of data science projects in python, all with correct versions, installed correctly, etc.
