Wolfram language instead of "R" for maths & maps coding?

Posted 10 years ago

Hi all. apologies if this is covered; it's very hard to search for "R"!!

Quick one: incredibly excited about WL, never used WM and only recently started learning to code in R for fisheries statistics modelling, especially for maps. My question is: can someone who knows about R and WM please tell me how much overlap there is, how easy it would be for an R novice to become a mathematica/language novice, and especially whether it's possible to import or transcode R functions, e.g. I'm currently using Boosted Regression Trees so I'd love to be able to do everything quickly & more easily in WL if possible now, or in the future.

Thanks. Sorry that this is quite basic, I'm still getting to grips with the Wolfram suite.

Wow. Game changer. Cheers Sam, that's so awesome. Bye bye R!! Now I just need to work out how I actually GET Wolfram Language! :P

This is a must read in any case: Why Would a Mathematica User Care about R?
