Running R Jobs on Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks are a popular tool for data scientists and researchers to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. They are an incredibly powerful tool for interactively developing and presenting data science projects. Jupyter notebooks can be used for various use cases such as data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and more. They allow you to easily share your work with others by exporting your notebook as a PDF or HTML file. Jupyter notebooks also have a large community of users who have contributed many libraries and extensions that can be used to enhance workflows.

R

R is a programming language that was created for statistical computing and graphics. It has become increasingly popular over the years because of its flexibility, ease of use, and powerful data analysis capabilities. R has a rich ecosystem with complex data models and elegant tools for data reporting. It offers a wide variety of statistics-related libraries and provides a favorable environment for statistical computing and design. R is especially popular among data scientists, statisticians, and researchers who work with large datasets. It is used for data analysis, statistical inference, machine learning algorithms, and data visualization. R can also be used for creating reproducible, high-quality research reports.

Jupyter notebooks are an extremely popular tool for data scientists, analysts, and engineers alike to experiment with R before investing in productionizing.
