Hello:
What are the differences between Jupyter notebooks and RMarkdown
vignettes?
I'm trying to do real time monitoring of the broadcast quality of
a radio station, and it seems to me that it may be easier to do that in
Python than in R.[1] This led me to a recent post to
"python-l...@python.org" that mentioned "Jupyter, Mathematica, and the
Future of the Research Paper"[2] by Paul Romer, who won the 2018 Nobel
Memorial Prize in Economics only a few days ago. In brief, this article
suggests that Jupyter notebooks may replace publication in refereed
scientific journals as the primary vehicle for sharing scientific
research, because they make it so easy for readers to follow both the
scientific and computational logic and test their own modifications.
A "Jupyter Notebook Tutorial: The Definitive Guide"[3] suggested
I first install Anaconda Navigator. I got version 1.9.2 of that. It
opens with options for eight different "applications" including
JupyterLab 0.34.9, Jupyter Notebook 5.6.0, Spyder 3.3.1 (an IDE for
Python), and RStudio 1.1.456.
This leads to several questions:
1. In general, what experiences have people had with
Jupyter Notebooks, Anaconda Navigator, and RMarkdown vignettes in
RStudio, and the similarities and differences? Do you know any
references that discuss this?
2. More specifically, does it make sense to try to use
RStudio from within Anaconda Navigator, or is one better off using
RStudio as a separate, stand alone application -- or should one even
abandon RStudio and run R instead from within a Jupyter Notebook? [I'm
new to this topic, so it's possible that this question doesn't even make
sense.]
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
[1] If you have ideas for how best to do real time monitoring of
broadcast quality of a radio station, I'd love to hear them. I need
software that will do that, preferably something that's free, open
source. The commercial software I've seen for this is not adequate for
my purposes, so I'm trying to write my own. I have a sample script in
Python that will read a live stream from a radio tuner and output a
*.wav of whatever length I want, and I wrote Python eight years ago for
a similar real time application. I'd prefer to use R, but I don't know
how to get started.
