Details
Greenplum is a massively parallel relational database platform. R is one of the top languages in the data scientist/applied statistician community. In this talk, I'll give an overview of how they work together, both with R on the desktop and as an embedded in-database analytics tool. It'll be a variation of a talk recently presented at the UseR 2012 Conference.
