R is a statistical programming language that is used all over the world to perform statistical analysis and predictive modeling due to its thousands of libraries containing a wealth of statistical methods. Statistical analyses can identify patterns in events that otherwise might seem random and unconnected. In ArcGIS Pro, you can combine R’s statistical libraries and functions with ArcGIS’s spatial capabilities using the R ArcGIS Bridge. See the power of the R ArcGIS Bridge in this analysis of crime in San Francisco.
