Prerequisites for Advanced Analytics Example

Install the following applications to use advanced analytics:

Installing R
R is an open-source language and environment for statistical computing and data visualization, similar to SAS or SPSS, supporting data manipulation and transformations, as well as sophisticated graphical displays. However, R is limited by memory, processing power on the local machine, single threaded, and scalability.
Installing ORE
Oracle R Enterprise integrates R with Oracle Database. By doing so, Oracle R Enterprise (ORE) removes the memory and computational constraints found in R by executing requested R calculations on data in the database, using the database itself as the computational engine. Oracle R Enterprise allows you to further leverage Oracle's engineered systems, like Exadata, Big Data Appliance, and Exalytics, for enterprise-wide analytics, as well as reporting tools like Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition dashboards and BI Publisher documents.
