What software to use for data analysis? #Rstats seems to be dominant in #Ecology and #Evolution where many standard packages are available to support biological data analysis. I first learned about #Rstats in biology. Despite ventures into #Genstat #Minitab #MATLAB #Octave #Orange I have gradually migrated to #Python preferring its syntax. #Python packages have expanded enormously https://pypi.org/ making it as useful. There is no competition: choose what is best for your project.

#datascience #machinelearning #AI folks. In my #introduction I left out the tools/languages. Started with #genstat #pascal (are these still used?) Later #rstat #java but now #python is favourite (although have ventured into #matlab #octave #orange & others).
