How can I integrate Python and R for data analysis?

You can use the rpy2 library in Python to run R code and access R objects directly from Python.

What are some use cases for integrating both languages?

Common use cases include leveraging R's statistical packages while using Python for data manipulation and visualization.

Can you show me a simple example of using rpy2?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import rpy2.robjects as robjects
robjects.r('x <- rnorm(100)')
mean_x = robjects.r('mean(x)')
print(mean_x)

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, calling R from Python can introduce overhead, so it's best for smaller tasks or when you need specific R functionalities.
