R implementation is missing #98

Closed Ichoran closed 8 years ago

Ichoran commented 8 years ago

R is heavily used in biostatistics and big data analysis. An R implementation would enable access to a huge range of statistical tools, and also to a substantial number of people who have expertise in R but not other programming languages.

The implementation strategy should almost certainly be based around the R-Scala interface package rscala. The way we should use it is documented at https://darrenjw.wordpress.com/2015/08/15/calling-scala-code-from-r-using-rscala/

That sounds great! Especially with a good Scala implementation now!
