Build sophisticated analytics by combining the statistical capabilities of the R language with the spatial science of ArcGIS. Extend your R models by leveraging the ecosystem of ArcGIS with access to data, spatial algorithms, and more. Benefit from the performance, scalability, and spatial validation available from ArcGIS when building R-based analytics tools in an R or ArcGIS environment. Increase the accessibility of your R scripts using the built-in sharing capabilities of the ArcGIS platform.

 

As a member of the R Consortium, Esri is part of the R community and supports the R project.

How does R-ArcGIS Bridge work?

Access spatial data with R

R-ArcGIS Bridge enables you to easily access ArcGIS data and bring it into R for specialized statistical analysis. It supports spatial data types such as geodatabases, hosted maps, image and feature layers, and raster data formats, going beyond what's typically supported by open-source spatial R packages.
