Big Data Analytics in R
Summary:
Getting value out of big data with analytics can be tough, and challenges the status quo of many tools and infrastructures. As the R language gains adoption, Revolution is committed driving its adoption deeper into the enterprise, and this means into the emerging big data landscape. In this presentation, we’ll update the BBBT on our progress and that of some of our users who have used R to extract analytical value form their big data assets.
