Overall Satisfaction with RStudio

I have extensively used RStudio, when I was seconded to the Department of Health in Victoria to assist with the surge in COVID19 Delta response. In my day to day, I used R mostly for Descriptive and Graphical analysis and data management. Most of the analysis is used to provide insights to reduce road trauma and promote road safety.
  • Dara Management.
  • Descriptive and Statistical analysis.
  • Data science and machine learning.
  • Text analysis.
  • Can not run concurrent sessions and sometimes freezes but can be due to local or virtual machine capacity.
  • RStudio has come a long way, and expect enhancements will continue to improve performance and ease to use.
  • Much cheaper option then SAS.
  • Data science and machine learning- used to solve complex business problems.
  • Enables to launch Data Science project in Cloud-based environment.

Value of Using RStudio for Data Science

RStudio Workbench helps scale for a team of R users there are number of useful features such as project sharing, collaborative editing, session management, and IT administration tools like authentication, audit logs, and server performance metrics.
Its available all the time with me and can use as and when required.
I am basic user of the RStudio and most of the codes are in R for data management and for reporting purpose. This not my domain as part of the infrastructure team, However and more than confident that the Department of Health will renew use of RStudio.
I have RStudio installed on my personal computer and use for the analysis of the data that are publicly available.

Using RStudio

6 - Data Science team within Business Intelligence team
2 - Our technical and installation is managed by the ITSS shared services.
  • mapping of crash data to road asset data
  • deep dive to find out more about crash data to support road safety
  • Text analytics of the survey data and meeting notes were collected from all the council visits in Victoria.
  • The Data Science team extensively used R for Injury coding
  • mapping of crash location and road infrastructure data
  • May be more across analytical teams with bit of training

  • This also depends on the experience of the user and support available around if there is something not directly available on web.
Yes - I just tried RStido with my Android Mobile and it runs well without any issue.
I continue to learn and use RStudio and this is really working for analytical and reporting purpose.
