All Apps and Add-ons

Is it possible to use R instead of python in MLTK ?

I have R codes (not on Splunk) that allow me to:
- recover data from splunk
- pre-process these data
- learn machine learning models
- predict data

I would like to integrate these R codes into Splunk so that all these processes take place in Splunk. I know how to use the add-on machine learning toolkit but with python only.

I would like to know if it is possible to integrate R codes on this add-on?

No , not directly

You can build a pass through algorithm file with the ML API (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/MLApp/4.2.0/API/Introduction) but you will be transferring data a ton and I suspect this would be a security issue as well.
