What is it that the R plugin can do that Rapid Miner can not?
Maven
Dear All,
I'm currently playing around with the R extension.
I've played with it before, but expect for plotting, I never found anything that I could not already do in RapidMiner.
What is it that the R extension can do that Rapid Miner can not?
In what scenarios is the R extension a really efficient tool (please assume familiarity with Rapid Miner, and only novice familiarity with R)
Best regards,
Wessel

rhe R plugin is basically meant as a help for transition for people who currently have a lot of stuff in R which they want to continue to use. So if you have some code in R, say a cool algorithm which is not yet implemented in RapidMiner, you can do all the preprocessing and data preparation stuff in RapidMiner and then use the R extension to apply the algorithm. If you are already familar with RapidMiner and are keen in Java programming, it's probably a much better idea to implement new stuff as a RapidMiner extension instead of using R.
Best,
Marius
