\nIntroduction
\nData Analysis is one cogent area of data science that requires mostly quantitative study and language programming. As a result, many data scientist the world over have chosen to adopt the R language for their coding tasks and projects. R is a major programming tool that has been recognized for analysis of data as it makes use of a large repertoire of software developed by other computer programmers. Hence, scientists now rely on the language for their series of mathematical calculations and visualization of graphical elements as they portray their projects online or through the physical storage devices (Venables, Smith and R Core Team, 2022).
\nAcceptance of R
\nStatisticians also employ R to carry out their advanced plots in Stata and graphical representation of their statistical analysis borrowing from the arrays of packages that R has in its inventory (Evans, 2014). It is no surprise any longer why the field of data science and even professional bodies like the Association of Computational Linguistics (ACL), Data Science Association and Royal Statistical Society (RSS) all approve of this language for data analysis.Data Analysis with RStudio
\nTo analyze data into R, it is imperative to download the R software from the internet and install on any of our gadgets or laptops. After successfully opening the programming language, some coders keep on making use of the R console. However, R can be used from a much better IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like RStudio which embeds in itself improved user interface editor that eases writing codes and developing projects (Peng, 2015).
\nData Visualization in R
\nAccording to Evans (2014), \u201cGraphics and `data visualization’ are an integral part of statistics, and R makes it easy to produce common plots quickly, as well as giving a powerful interface for more esoteric output. The basic command is the generic function plot().\u201d This is not to say that the R language only makes use of the plots for data visualization; there are invariably other graphic systems used in R such as histograms, curves, piecharts, among others.
\nDecision Making in Data Science
\nWith all the data analysis and analytics carried out in the R language for data science, the major goal is to provide improved understanding and increased decision making process. In fact, many organizations now make use of these data gotten from the field, analyzed and visualized by processing languages like R to better comprehend the state of affairs in the company, to advance further to predicting future occurrences for utmost profitability and even satisfied customer (Brown, Swift and Smart, 2018).
\nData Influencing Business Decisions
\nIn many businesses now, data science has proven very useful in assisting top managers and directors to make accurate decisions. Machine learning for instance now has techniques that employ automated decision making from algorithms gotten virtually through clients while shopping or interacting with carts, social media platforms, websites, recommendation systems and so on. In the recruitment process of Amazon as a case study, applicants who made use of phrases like \u2018women\u2019s chess club captain\u2019 were penalized and other applicants who made know that they studied at women\u2019s colleges were downgraded for the post (Dastin, 2018).
