Ensemble learning, prediction and forecasting

We will finish our 2018-2019 meetup series with a great event. The meeting will focus on forecasting, prediction and ensemble Learning and speakers will include Prof Grushka-Cockayne and Dr Prasad Patil. We will have food and plenty of time for networking with other R and Bioconductor professionals.

If you're new to the idea of ensemble learning or forecast aggregation, there is a nice primer at https://towardsdatascience.com/simple-guide-for-ensemble-learning-methods-d87cc68705a2

Prof Grushka-Cockayne will speak on forecast aggregation. She is an excellent speaker and we were incredibly impressed by her when she spoke at a recent Women in Data Science meeting. We are sure her experience of developing ensemble prediction algorithms on large-scale, streaming, noisy real-world data will have important lessons for all of us in genomics.
