It depends. For statistical graphics, it is hard to beat R simply because it has all of the statistical functionality built right in. Want an ACF plot for your ARMA model? No problem. To do this in D3 requires a lot more code. R also has

The bonus with D3 is that (2) is up to you. Seeing as it's constructing SVG, you just need to design a plot such that it looks unique. I have a feeling that the reason why D3 sites look similar is due to copy & paste coding (which is ad

I think the point is that R can do both statistical analysis and graphing. You don't need ggplot2 to produce good plots in R, however, I do agree that ggplot2 is a very good graphics package. Regarding ggplot2 and D3, it's already possibl

If you're interested in good references for being able to produce `visual stories' I suggest you have a look into the R package `ggplot2' [1]. It's a great way (although a little challenging at first) of being able to produce almost all of

I suspect it's because it's the most relevant. For me personally I wouldn't be interested in using anything besides the most accurate prediction. However, I would probably make the alternative hypotheses available to choose in case the best

It also drastically lowers the amount of processing overhead per page served, after all, there's no dynamic code to process nor are there any database queries to execute.

I personally didn't find the learning curve to be that high. Perhaps because I was in a course learning taught by one of the founders of the R Project ;). The lecture slides he created were great, and I recommend anyone that is interested i
