What is a RDA file?

.RDA, or R data file, is a binary data file. It is a graphing and statistical analysis program created by the older versions of R involved in saving the statistical objects – such as functions, values, etc. – created by the user at the R prompt. .RDA is the older extension that was used by The R Project for Statistical Computing but, now, R uses the .RDATA extension, a replacement graphing and statistical analysis program. The .rda file allowed the user to save their R data structures such as vectors, matrices, and data frames that are automatically compressed with other useful options for additional compression. .RDA, or .RSA, files are to be used in an RStudio environment so that vectors can be saved individually. It comes in handy for larger datasets that can take up large amounts of space using the “compress” and “compress_level” settings
