R Data Science and Visualization

R Data Science and Visualization is a field that uses the R programming language to analyze and visualize data. It incorporates various packages like ggplot2 and dplyr to create comprehensible data visualizations and perform advanced data manipulation. This discipline also leverages tools like R Markdown and Shiny for creating dynamic reports and interactive web applications, respectively, thus aiding in effective data communication and analysis.

Ranks are based on the open source contributions and reassessed every 30 days
