R-to-Python Translation Skill

R-to-Python translation reference for quantitative social science data analysis. Maps R ecosystem packages (tidyverse/dplyr, ggplot2, fixest, survey, sf, plm, lme4, marginaleffects, rdrobust) to DAAF Python equivalents (polars, plotnine, pyfixest, statsmodels, linearmodels, svy, geopandas). Use when user mentions R/RStudio background, requests R-equivalent code comments, needs to understand Python analysis code from an R perspective, or wants to translate R data analysis concepts to Python. Covers paradigm differences, verb-by-verb operation translations, regression modeling, causal inference, visualization, and workflow adaptation.

Cross-language translation reference for researchers moving between the R and Python data analysis ecosystems. This skill maps R packages, idioms, and workflows to their DAAF Python equivalents so that R-background users can audit, understand, and learn from DAAF-produced code, and so that code-producing agents can annotate their output with R equivalents when directed.

This skill is a routing hub — it provides overview tables, decision trees, and directs readers to the detailed reference files listed below. The reference files contain the exhaustive verb-by-verb mappings, code examples, and edge-case documentation.

What This Skill Does

• Maps the R data analysis ecosystem to DAAF's Python stack across data wrangling, modeling, visualization, causal inference, surveys, spatial analysis, and workflow tooling
• Provides a structured annotation protocol for agents to add inline R-equivalent comments to Python code
• Identifies paradigm gaps where R and Python diverge fundamentally, so users know where to expect friction
