Re: [R] R vs Numpy

If you are looking for expertise in answering questions about NumPy, the pool of experts will be smaller here than in a forum whose topic is NumPy. I don't know what "BIO" means... if it alludes to biostatistics then there is a whole separate Bioconductor project that specializes in applying R

Reasons for preferring one to another: - taste. If you like curly braces, you'll prefer R. If you like indentation forced by syntax, you'll prefer Python. - compatibility. This morning I was trying to use a web site where all the Python examples were non-functional due to either of bo

Thanks for Avi. and all other people's helps. I am using Numpy primarily for machine learning, for example, Keras tasks can use Numpy heavily. Now I got a task to analyze the BIO data, for which the Prof tell me R is better. So I am looking into R. and I was just serious if Numpy can handle the

I think a Cheat Sheet that gives a side-by-side comparison of numpy and R would be relevant here. I found something like that for pandas and R (link below), but not for numpy. https://github.com/yl3738/Python-vs.-R-Cheatsheet/blob/main/community%20contribution_CC%20group14.pdf On Thu, Oct 28, 20

I am not sure your overall question fits into this forum but a brief internet search can find plenty of info. But in brief, R is a language in which much of what numpy does was built in from the start and many things are vectorized. Much of what the python pandas language does is also part of nati

This is dangerously close to off topic, or at least it could be fuel for divisive argument rather than informed discussion (most readers here might be short on details of NumPy and long on details regarding R). Have you used a search engine? Google found https://www.r-bloggers.com/2011/03/a-sho

Catherine, R is a program that is designed for the statistical analysis and visual display of data. Advantages and disadvantages depend on what you want to do with the language. John From: R-help on behalf of Catherine Walt Sent: Thursday, October
