R Snippet

This Node Is Deprecated — This node is kept for backwards-compatibility, but the usage in new workflows is no longer recommended. The documentation below might contain more information.

Allows execution of R commands in a local R installation. The result of these R commands is returned in the output table of this node. All input data is written to a CSV file, imported into R (saved in the variable named R) and processed together with the R commands. The result which has to be saved into variable R as well is written to a CSV file again and then imported into KNIME.

Arguments for R binary
Add additional arguments run together with the R binary. The '--vanilla' mode ensures a clean workspace and may cause problems when removed.
