The R scripting extension provides an operator “Execute R” that allows to execute an R script as part of a RapidMiner process. Data can be seamlessly transferred to R and R code can be used for data manipulation, model building and charting. Any specified output will be returned to RapidMiner for further processing within the RapidMiner process. Any R object can be returned, stored within RapidMiner repositories and made available for later use by another “Execute R” operator.
