What we're about

This is the R user group for the New England and Greater Boston area.

R is a free and open programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphical visualization. Along with this powerful software, comes a dynamic and vast community. The Greater Boston useR Group seeks to bring this community together to share ideas, discuss R related topics, and provide direction for new and experienced users.

Boston useR Tidy Tuesday Meetup
*please note this meetup will be in-person, please only register if you plan to join us in-person as space is limited

What is TidyTuesday?
TidyTuesday is a weekly data project aimed at the R ecosystem (see info below). An emphasis is placed on understanding how to summarize and arrange data to make meaningful charts with ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr, and other tools in the tidyverse ecosystem.

This meetup will be hands-on: after a brief introduction of #TidyTuesday and the weekly dataset, everyone will have a chance to explore the data in small groups and then share their work with their group. If you have a laptop, please bring it with you so you can play along! Whether you want to practice exploratory visualization, apply a new analytical technique, try out a new plot theme or just learn tidyverse things from others, #TidyTuesday is for you.

To get a sense for #TidyTuesday ahead of time, check out the hashtag on Twitter, explore past datasets or check out David Robinson's screencasts below:
