Abstract

Reducing energy consumption is one of the priority areas of development for all energy consumers. The choice of an efficient and reliable programming language will provide a qualitative analysis of all possible impacts, and consequently a more rational energy consumption by consumers and improve the quality of energy management. The main purpose of this work is to determine the means of R Studio to identify the most influential factors in energy consumption. Information technology allows you to process large databases, as well as use mathematical tools to identify factors that affect the level of energy consumption. R Studio is an open source integrated shell and has a user-friendly interface that simplifies working with R. A number of features, such as backlighting and auto-completion, easy script navigation and others, make R Studio attractive for analyzing statistical databases with many variables. This article describes in detail the contents of the main R Studio window and its main functionality. On the example of the enterprise database the mathematical tools of R Studio were considered: the matrix of pair correlation coefficients for factor signs is constructed, the correlation analysis of influence of factors on energy consumption is carried out.
