It’s ALMOST here, the R extension in Rapidminer is just one more week away!!!
If you want a sneak peak of it, check out this intro video by Ralf Klinkenberg on the R extension.
With the new GUI in 5.X and now this extension, Rapidminer will blow the doors off any data modeling suites in 2011!
I’ve been yearning for something like this since v4! I can’t believe it’s actually happening! Thanks for the update Tom!
@Paul, like you I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. This pushes Rapidminer onto a whole new level in my book.
I am very interested in seeing how this will all work. If there is complete functionality to use R scripting on RM objects (to transform variables, subset data etc) and allow introduction of R packages (e.g. GBM) into the RM world…..it will be huge! One of the big weaknesses of RM right now (IMHO) is poor exploratory analysis functionality (during the data preparation stage of modeling). This might help remedy that
@Jeff, yes your right Not being able to analyze how robust your data is before loading it the model has always been a burden with RM. Hopefully this integration will really be fantastic!
