R users

(2M+)

"A key benefit of R is that it provides near-instant availability of new and experimental methods created by its user base — without waiting for the development/release cycle of commercial software. SAS recognizes the value of R to our customer base, and now makes it easy for SAS users to utilize R from within the SAS environment."

SAS Product Manager, May 2011

The R Ecosystem

David Smith, Revolution Analytics

Thank You!

In the last couple of years, and especially since the New York Times feature article about R, I have observed a dramatic shift in the perceptions of R. Long gone are the days when it was regarded as a “niche” statistical computing tool mainly used for research and teaching. Today, R is viewed as a critical component of any data scientist’s toolbox, and has been adopted as a layer of the analytics infrastructure at many organizations. As a result, a broad ecosystem has sprung up around open-source R. In this talk, I’ll share my observations on this evolving ecosystem, including:

  • Estimates of the number of R users
  • The R Community: people sharing R software and experiences
  • How R is being used in academia and in industry
  • R’s role in the Data Science movement
  • How R is bringing modern Statistics to business applications

The talk will conclude with some thoughts on what the future holds for R’s role in the worlds of statistics, data science, and business.
