R - Interview Questions
How Do You Solve a Problem in R?
The solutions available are referred to as “packages” in R, so be sure to use this term in your answer. First, explain that the CRAN package ecosystem has an extensive amount of packages available (over 6,000) to solve potential issues. Each R user might have their own way of making their selection, but the best way to answer this question is to explain how reviews from others go a long way: Were other R users with similar issues able to solve their problems with a particular package? If so, were these issues similar to the problems you’re encountering? In your answer, explain that you’d be wary of packages that don’t encompass good software development principles, have poor reviews, or are lacking reviews altogether.
