Its strengths lie in its robust statistical modeling and programming capability, making it suitable for advanced statistical analyses and research. It has an energetic and supportive consumer neighborhood that contributes to developing new applications and resources. R also promotes reproducibility and transparency in research, as scripts can be effortlessly shared and documented. However, R ...
