Working with the FsLab ecosystem

The R type provider is interoperable with other packages in FsLab through its plugin architecture. Some examples are shown below. If you would like to see better interoperability between R and other FsLab packages, submit an issue to their repository for the creation of an RProvider plugin.

Deedle - data frame manipulation

Deedle provides types for F# data frame and time series manipulation. To use with RProvider, first install the Deedle.RPlugin package from nuget; once this is installed, you do not need to reference it in your script files.

#r "nuget:Deedle.RPlugin"

In a new F# script file, first open Deedle and RProvider:

#r "nuget:RProvider"
#r "nuget:Deedle"

open RProvider
open RProvider.``base``
open RProvider.datasets
open Deedle

The Deedle R plugin should be loaded by the R type provider automatically. You can now convert back and forth between R data frames and Deedle frames by using type annotations:

let mtcars : Frame<string, string> = R.mtcars.GetValue()

// Pass Deedle data to R and print the R output
R.as_data_frame(mtcars)

// Pass Deedle data to R and get column means
R.colMeans(mtcars)
