R is an open source software/programming language for data analysis, statistical modeling, visualization, data mining, predictive analytics, statistical computing, exploratory data analysis etc.
This group is aimed to bring together practitioners (from industry and academia alike) in order to exchange knowledge and experience in solving data analysis/statistical problems by using R. Besides discussing techniques and solutions in R, emphasis will be put on providing a good understanding of the data analysis and statistical modeling methodologies used. Also, we will devote time to help new users become familiar with R and its numerous capabilities.
This meeting we'll talk about modeling with 3 speakers on 3 different packages. We'll also have plenty of time for discussions, and this meeting will also be a good opportunity for anyone to jump in and share some thoughts about uses of these or related/similar/other modeling packages.
The packages discussed are:
randomForests: Random forests offer a very powerful technique for statistical learning. Read more
What members are saying
“ It is fun. ”
“ To become more informed R users and developers. Nobody can know all the capabilities of R, so this is a good chance to interact with people who have different or better ways of solving problems. ”
