Creating a Custom R Component

As an expert user, you can create and add a component using R scripts.

The newly added R component is classified under Start of the navigation path Algorithms Next navigation step Custom R Components End of the navigation path in the list of components on the right-hand side of the screen, depending on the type of component created. For example, it can be classified as an algorithm, a preprocessor component or a data writer. You can use custom components to perform analysis on the acquired data set.

R is a software programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. Expert Analytics provides an environment for you to use R scripts (within a valid R function format) and create a component, which can be used for analysis in the same way as any other existing component. While creating an R component, you can provide a name for the component, which appears under the classification, Start of the navigation path Algorithms Next navigation step Custom R Components End of the navigation path.

The list of supported R versions has been extended to include version 3.1.2. It is now possible to use the latest libraries -- such as algorithms, visualization, data manipulation and preparation -- as custom components.

You can share one or more R custom components by using .spar files.

The Custom-R component has a new expanding window and keyword highlighting to make script easier to read in the component. You use the Expand window button is used to activate the window:
