Data scientists and statisticians know a powerful analytical tool simply by the name “R”—an opensource, free programming language and environment for statistical computing. It is historically one of the fastest-growing statistical programming languages and a top tool of choice in the data scientist’s toolkit. 

Statisticians, data scientists, and analysts are an integral part of the business, tasked with sifting through the vast amount of data available today to discover valuable new insights. Whether it’s identifying complex patterns and relationships or using the data to predict future activities, uncovering these insights requires the ability to build statistical models, then analyze and share the results—a job suited perfectly for Tableau’s integration with R.
