Can anyone help me, is R (programming language for statistical

>>3244681
Ugly as fuck syntax and on it's way out imo. Python + pandas is better

>>3244681
Short answer, yes. Long answer, no.

only if you think statistical models are important

>>3244690
can you elaborate?

It won't hurt to learn it, but I doubt that YOU will ever use it in the industry.

Your profs will probably force you to write code in R, yes. And when that happens, you should try to ask and convince them that you do it in Python, which is a much more versatile language. As a side note, I'm operating a bot based on

in case you're interested in working on algorithmic condition for buy/sell with me.

Pick either python, matlab or R - it literally won't matter, since learning the fucking syntax of either one will be the least of your worries.

This. I love R and I've used it for years but Python is catching up rapidly and R is not gonna be able to hold it off.

Dplyr and ggplot are GOAT though.

it seems to me that R is easier than python and is also better for statistics, is it correct?

also is it easy to analyze stock charts and make custom indicators with R or python?

No, Python is easier.

Here's a series

R is ahead in terms of statistic libraries. It's build for that purpose, whereas Python is general scripting language.

Neither is compiled (you won't make .exe files). For that, you'd want, for example, C# or Java.

Easy is relative. You can do essentially anything you can imagine.

the point of the pic being that it's the Python client for the NEO blockchain. You wouldn't never do that with R, in that sense it's more general. Pic related is a user interface I wrote last year, if you're looking for something like that. That being said, I've had to use MatLab and Python for jobs equally, and R is a bit like Matlab.
