Machine Learning, R and Beyond

R has become one of the most popular languages for predictive analytics thanks to its endless integration options and flexibility. So we’ve decided to kick start our meetup series with a great R use case.

In this session Jared Lander, the man behind "R for Everyone: Advanced Analytics and Graphics", is going to teach you how to use R to increase sales revenue through building statistical models on sales data. Jared, will illustrate how R can be used to solve real life business problems and present how to use a growing library of R functions and advanced techniques for deeper statistical and predictive analysis.

Main points:
-Predict critical business outcomes
-Easily build statistical models in Sisense
-Create interactive dashboards using practical statistics

As a warm up, Dean Shub from Sisense will present Machine Learning with JavaScript. Dean will dive deep into the next generation of technology development and its integration into popular programming languages. Dean will make sense of it all by explaining concepts and how they work with Javascript's new era of ES2015.
