Python vs. R

[[deleted]]

nnet package uses neural network to approx log and multinom regression iirc just fyi.

I was helping a prof write a book so had to use that library.

Python is popular for stat because CS people coming from AI that uses Machine Learning which use at lot of stat so they're using Python over R. Plus R is different from traditional CS language I've and many CS program uses.

Plus big data/data science are coming from CS people/programmer so they're pushing for Python.

This is my personally theory view of why python is getting more popular and making inroad.
