Description

R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

Please highlight any challenges that you may have encountered while installing R or R Studio.

representation can give us the same information productively and appealingly, prompting much
better outcomes (Healy, 2018).
Kieran highlights the right data visualisation elements. First, he says that clear headings
and keys are crucial elements of good data visualisation. The more convincing the title, the more
consideration the audience will pay to the information in the diagram or chart. To make the most
convincing heading conceivable, you must comprehend your audience. Secondly, evident
patterns ought to be apparent from the presentation. One of the fundamental advantages of data
visualisation is its value in showing patterns/trends. It can...
