Introduction to R


R is an open source statistical programming language and in recent years, it has been hugely popular. R has significant and vibrant communities worldwide and it is rich with libraries/packages, which get new additions every day. R is a first-class citizen in the Azure ML land, meaning that it has its native support for the language. Among many data structures, R has the data.frame data structure, which can be assumed to be a data table with rows and columns with column headers. Though there are differences, you can safely think of it as a dataset in ML Studio. So, whenever a dataset is passed to R code in an experiment, it implicitly gets converted to the data.frame data structure.
