Sensing a growing interest in big data-style analysis, software provider Revolution Analytics has updated its flagship package of R statistical functions so it can be run with the Hadoop data processing platform.
Revolution R Enterprise 7 (RRE 7), to be made available on Monday, also features the ability to run R within Teradata databases as well.
The R language provides a way to run common statistical tests -- such as linear and nonlinear modelling, time-series analysis, classification, and clustering -- on a set of data, often portraying the results in graphical form.
