R Programming

John,

I’ve experimented with R and R studio. 

We have been able to connect R via ODBC to our Tessitura T-Stats data warehouse and have experimented with Rattle “A free graphical interface for data mining with R.” which is a user interface that is supposed to make thing easier.  I guess that it does.  However, that whole process has been fairly heavy lifting.  From my point of view.  To be successful one really needs training to us R successfully.  And I have not yet had an opportunity to do this training.

I’ve done a little bit of correlation visualization for example this is sort of a silly one on the Memb_Fact table out of T-Stats Warehouse.

It is clear that Microsoft is making an investment in R as part of their machine learning and data visualization practices.  So I see it as worth the time to learn this.  Again it’s a question of time and finding someone to help me on my way.

Hello folks,

     Has anyone experimented with R for analysis?  If you have, I've love to chat about your experience and use cases.

Have a super day,

John
