Why Machine Learning using R ?

For People who are still wondering on What is Machine Learning, you can read the below link to understand its purpose and usages and the different steps involved as part of Machine Learning.

Simple breakdown of the steps involved in Machine Learning !

There are 4 languages used for Machine Learning —

1. R
2. Python

3. MatLab — (Used for image recognition)

4. Java

Many of them use Python for machine learning and few of them uses R programming. Both requires considerable programming knowledge on how to effectively employ these languages to develop a machine learning model.

Why R for Machine Learning

R is a Turing Complete language. ie) It can perform any computation that a turing machine can and thus it can also perform tasks such as Statistical Analysis, Predictive Modeling and also implement Machine Learning Algorithms. R also provides Object oriented and functional programming paradigms. It is also an Open source programming language and therefore there isn’t any licensing restrictions involved.
