Contributed SoftwareR PACKAGES

Since its very early days, Revolution Analytics has contributed software to the open source community. Revolution’s experts in parallel computing maintain the following packages on CRAN:

• doMC• doParallel• doSNOW• foreach• iterators• nws

Leading the way for integrating R with Hadoop.Recognizing early on that the Hadoop project would become very important for R minded data scientists and statisticians for working with big data Revolution initiated the RHADOOP project on Github. Today, the three packages rmr (writing map-reduce jobs in R), rhbase (queriring the HBASE data base) and rhdfs (working with the HDFS file system) are the gold stan-dards for using R with Hadoop

Helpr: https://github.com/hadley/helpr

Helpr is an R package that betters friendly HTML documentation. With links to other packages, func-tion aliases, and function sources, finding information is a click away. Using the comprehensive search bar, searching across all R packages is quick and effortless.

The development of helpr was made possible with generous support from Revolution Analytics.
