Sorry for the lame topic... Just wondering what are the advantages of MDM vs R with Tabular. Or is this an apples vs oranges question?
If I want to learn Multi-dimensional, I have to install another instance of the database engine and then SSAS Multi-dimensional and (maybe) R. (Paco Gonzalez showed that at SQL Saturday in Nashville, but I'm such a noob that I don't remember it all that well.)
I already have 2016 with Tabular installed. Where to from here? Thanks!

Yep - apples and oranges.
Multi-Dimensional and Tabular will both give you analytical cubes, but both have weaknesses and strengths, choose your type carefully.
R - best to read up - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/advanced-analytics/r/sql-server-r-services
The same question was asked on ... https://datascience.stackexchange.com/questions/5404/how-does-sql-server-analysis-services-compare-to-r
Personal advise, but maybe I would suggest starting with a tabular to unpack what you require from your data, and work from there.
