R is a powerful programming language and software environment for statistical computing. By combining scripts created in R with Yellowfin, you can get advanced statistical analysis of your data.
With the R transformation step, it is possible to use analytical models and applications created using this language in Yellowfin. You can use an R script via this step to get the results it’s designed to generate on your Yellowfin data.
Prerequisites
Before using this step, ensure that you have the following set up:
Access to an R instance with the Rserve package running.
At least one valid R script present in that R instance.
The R plug-in installed in your instance of Yellowfin. You can download the R plug-in from the Marketplace.
It is assumed that the user using the data transformation module to use the R script, knows the script well, and understands its input and output requirements.
