In this chapter, we have attempted to compare key features in R with their pandas equivalents in order to achieve the following objectives:
- To assist R users who may wish to replicate the same functionality in pandas
- To assist any users who upon reading some R code may wish to rewrite the code in pandas
In the next chapter, we will conclude the book by giving a brief introduction to the scikit-learn library for doing machine learning and show how pandas fits within that framework. The reference documentation for this chapter can be found here: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/comparison_with_r.html.
