There are several ways in which R will benefit you, be it as an information technology professional, business analyst, leader of the Shu army, or otherwise. These benefits are discussed in the following points:
- Free: R is available to you at no cost. The saying, "give a person a data analysis tool and he or she will learn to analyze data" has never been more true.
- Cross-platform: R runs on Mac, Windows, and numerous Unix systems. Whether you are visiting the Emperor in Chengdu or laying siege to the enemy capital at Luoyang, you can be confident that your software will run, regardless of the local operating system.
- Open source: R is open source. It allows you to exercise your genius in ways that a closed software does not.
- Programmable: R includes a powerful yet straightforward programming language that is designed to compliment the formation of complex strategies.
- Extendable: R can be expanded through thousands of available packages. If you are looking for a function to calculate the odds of a successful fire attack, the chances are someone has already made it. If not, you can create it and offer it to the world.
- Graphical: R contains robust graphical capabilities. Whether you are looking to create an unassuming plot of provision use over time or an elaborate array of battle maps, R is at your service.
- Community-supported: R has a vast user community that is continually updating and contributing to its capabilities. Even the great Zhuge Liang had to rely on his allies from time to time.
