History
 R is an implementation of the S programming language.
 S was created by John Chambers while at Bell Labs.
 R was created by Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman at the
University of Auckland, New Zealand.
 It is currently developed by the R Development Core Team, of
which Chambers is a member.
 R is named partly after the first names of the first two R
authors and partly as a play on the name of S.
Statistical Programming Language
Introduction
R is a –
 A Programming Language
 A Statistical Package
• An Interpreter
 Open Source
 Object Oriented Language
Why Learn R?
Installing R Studio
R can be installed by downloading rstudio from
Comprehensive R Archive Network: http://cran.r-
project.org
 By running the source codes and executables Rstudio can be
installed.
R GUI
Data types in R- Operators in R-
Vectors Arithmetic Operators
Lists Relational Operators
Matrices Logical Operators
Arrays Assignment Operators
Data Frames Miscellaneous Operators

Decision Making Statements in R- Loops in R-

If statement Repeat loop
If-else statement While loop
Switch case For loop
R data interfaces- R Charts and Graphs –
CSV Pie charts
Excel Bar charts
Binary Box plots
Xml Histogram
Json Line graph
Web data Scatter plot
Database
Web app development
Comparison with other languages
Future Scope
Jobs in R Careers are not only being offered by IT companies
but all types of companies are hiring High paid R candidates
including-
 Financial firms
 Retail organizations
 Banks
 Healthcare organizations etc.
Job Roles using R
 R data scientist
 Data scientist(IT)
 Analyst manager
 Senior data analyst
 Business analyst
 Analyst consultant
Companies using R: Facebook, Twitter, Goggle, Microsoft,
LinkedIn .
Advantages of R
 Free open source philosophy.
 R has over 4800 packages available from multiple repositories
specializing in topics like econometrics, data mining, spatial
analysis, and bio-informatics.
 Online help and discussion.
 R visualization capabilities .
 Interface with other languages and scripting capabilities
Disadvantages of R
 R has a steep learning curve it does take a while to get used to
the power of R but no steeper than for other statistical
languages. R is not so easy to use for the novice.
 No default parallel execution.
 Top skills needed for high performance computing.
Conclusion
 R is free and open-source, making it possible for anyone to
have access to world-class statistical analysis tools. It is used
widely in academia and the private sector and is the most
popular statistical analysis programming language today.
Learning R isn’t easy — if it was, data scientists wouldn’t be
in such high demand. However, there is no shortage of quality
resources you can use to learn R if you’re willing to put in the
time and effort
