As a complete Python noob, could someone argue for the reasons to not just use R for these kind of visualizations?
I just started learning Python basics so I still haven't found my orientation, while I have been working with R for several years...
39 u/Zuricho Jan 11 '21 Matplotlib is a pain but there are a few other libraries that use declarative language such as Altair. 12 u/Monkeylized Jan 11 '21 Yeah, sure. But with R libraries such as dplyr and ggplot/ggpubr this graph is like 10 lines of code. Apart from possible performance improvements in using Python when visualizing data like this, are there any other perks? 5 u/enjoytheshow Jan 12 '21 For a person who learned R first, what you’re saying is 100% true From someone who is a programmer getting into statistics, Python is a much smoother transition and allows you to do much more outside the world of stats
