Rattle (the R Analytic Tool To Learn Easily) is a graphical data science application designed to make statistical analysis and machine learning accessible to users who are unfamiliar with programming in R.
The application provides a structured workflow for loading data, exploring its characteristics, transforming variables, building predictive models and evaluating their performance. Its interface helps users progress through these tasks without having to construct every analysis manually.
Rattle has undergone a substantial redesign. The modern application uses a Flutter-based graphical interface while retaining R as its underlying analytical environment. This replaces the older GTK-based interface and introduces a more flexible approach to data science workflows.
One of Rattle’s distinguishing features is reproducibility. Operations performed through the interface can be captured as R commands, allowing analyses to be reviewed, saved and adapted as standalone scripts.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Graphical workflow for loading, exploring, transforming and modelling datasets.
- Import data from CSV, text and spreadsheet files.
- Built-in demonstration datasets for learning data science techniques.
- Assign variable roles including input, target, risk, identifier and ignored attributes.
- Explore descriptive statistics, distributions, correlations and missing values.
- Visualise data using statistical plots and graphical summaries.
- Perform data cleaning through missing-value handling and record removal.
- Transform variables through rescaling, recoding and imputation.
- Partition datasets for model development and evaluation.
- Build classification models using decision trees, random forests and boosting.
- Support regression, support vector machines and neural network models.
- Clustering and association analysis tools.
- Evaluate predictive models using error matrices and ROC charts.
- Interactive R console for executing commands and inspecting the current session.
- Capture graphical operations as documented R scripts.
- Export scripts for independent execution and further customisation.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
