Good Morning, I wanted to reach out as I am looking to learn more about the R Project / R Statistical Programming software, particularly as it's been utilizing in power plant industries. I work in the energy industry and my clients are starting to look for Risk Analysts proficient in this tool, and I find myself unaware of what this tool is. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have heard of the SAS language, R is used for similar needs. One of the main pluses of R is CRAN - The Comprehensive R Archive Network. This is a large set of statistical packages, which can be used as a library. A good web site is https://cran.revolutionanalytics.com/ to start. A search of "r language review" will get you some good hits from sites such as InfoWorld and NY Times as well as the usual "geek" sites. -- The man has the intellect of a lobotomized turtle.

R is gaining quite some traction in the Data Science and Machine Learning areas, mainly due to visualization tools and data munging facilities, but also due to availability of a wide variety of modern statistical procedures. It has for quite some time been the weapon of choice when attacking methodology issues in Statistics at the research level. - Peter D.> Warmly, > > > *Ashley Porter | Director of Recruiting* > D: 708-505-4087 *|* C: 708-705-0802* |* aporter at theplanetforward.com > 888-845-2539 *|* F: 708-682-3073 *|* www.theplanetforward.com > 800 Hillgrove Avenue, Suite 200, Western Springs, IL 60558 > http://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleymarieporter > > *Follow Us*: > <https://www.linkedin.com/company/planet-forward?trk=company_name> > <https://www.facebook.com/theplanetforward> > <https://twitter.com/planetforward1> > > *Planet Forward Jobs*: http://www.theplanetforward.com/jobs/ > > Chicago | Cleveland | San Francisco | Pensacola | London > > > > Sent with MailTrack > <https://mailtrack.io/install?source=signature&lang=en&referral=aporter at theplanetforward.com&idSignature=22> > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
