Chapter 1, Getting Ready for Tableau and R, shows how to connect Tableau Desktop
with R through calculated fields and take advantage of R functions, libraries,
packages, and even saved models. We'll also cover Tableau Server configuration
with R through an instance of Rserve (through the tabadmin utility), allowing
anyone to view a dashboard containing R functionality. Combining R with Tableau
gives you the ability to bring deep statistical analysis into a drag-and-drop visual
analytics environment.
