The .RDATA or R Workspace File is a binary file type used by the R language and environment for statistical computing. It serves as a workspace where all of the user’s objects, functions, and settings can be saved and stored. This is important for when users are working on advanced statistical analysis, as all of their variables, matrices, data frames and other associated code objects will precisely remain intact upon the re-opening of the .RDATA. This file format offers both strong storage and organisational benefits, which makes it invaluable to any R user who is employing it with advanced statistical models.
Compatibility & File Extension Varieties
The .rdata file extension can be used in many of the current operating systems on the market today, including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and iOS. On occasion, users may also see similar variants of this file extension, such as the .rda, .rda, or the .rdat. These file types are nearly identical in nature to the .RDATA, but may have been compressed using an alternative compression algorithm.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
Programs for LINUX system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RDATA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .RDATA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .RDATA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .RDATA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .RDATA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RDATA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RDATA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .RDATA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RDATA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RDATA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
