**🎉 Event Announcement: UNILORIN R Users Group Meetup Series**
📌 **Event Theme:** Predicting the Unpredictable: Regression for Real-World Problems
📅 **Date:** Friday, December 19, 2025
⏰ **Time:** 4:30 PM WAT
📍 **Venue:** Youtube Live

Join us for another insightful session in the Unilorin R User Group Meetup Series. This edition focuses on how to use R to explore relationships among variables and build predictive models that address real-world challenges. The session is designed to guide participants from foundational concepts to practical application, ensuring a smooth learning experience.

**🔍 Audience Takeaways**
Participants will gain hands-on understanding and practical skills for integrating AI tools into R. Key learning points include:

* **Correlation Analysis in R:** Start with the basics by examining how two variables move together. You’ll learn how to compute and interpret correlation coefficients and understand when correlation can hint at predictive potential.
* **Introduction to Regression in R**: Building on correlation, you’ll be introduced to regression as a more powerful tool for quantifying relationships and making predictions. This section explains what regression is, why it matters, and how it improves on simple correlation.
* **Core Regression Techniques:** Deepen your understanding through hands-on exploration of simple linear regression, multiple regression, and essential model diagnostics. You’ll learn how to check assumptions, measure model performance, and interpret outputs accurately.
* **Data Analysis Workflow for Predictive Modelling:** See how everything fits together as you walk through a full workflow: importing data, cleaning and preparing it, exploring patterns, building models, and evaluating results using tidyverse tools.
* **Real-World Use Case: Predicting Outcomes with R:** Finally, apply what you've learned to a real dataset. This case study demonstrates how regression models can address real-world questions and support data-driven decision making.

This session is designed to be practical, engaging, and accessible for participants at all levels. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of how to move from identifying relationships in data to building reliable predictive models using R.

Predicting the Unpredictable: Regression for Real-World Problems

Online event

**Topic**
Using R & DHIS2 for Health Analytics
**Rationale**
You need efficient tools to extract and manage DHIS2 data. Many users rely on manual exports, which increases errors and slows analysis. R lets you connect to DHIS2 through the API, pull routine data, reshape it, and automate checks. This training equips you with practical steps to request data, structure datasets, and build reproducible workflows. You improve accuracy. You reduce turnaround time. You strengthen your capacity to support evidence based decisions in health programs.

O que esperar desse curso?

Positron é uma IDE moderna criada pela Posit para oferecer uma experiência integrada em ciência de dados, unificando notebooks, scripts e consoles em um único ambiente. Com suporte nativo para R e Python, ele facilita a escrita de código, a exploração de dados, a criação de gráficos e a execução de análises de forma fluida, sem a necessidade de alternar entre diferentes ferramentas.

Construído sobre a base do Code OSS, o Positron mantém a familiaridade de editores populares, mas adiciona recursos específicos para análise de dados, como visualização de data frames, painel de plots, integração com Quarto e suporte a aplicações como Streamlit. É gratuito, extensível e pensado para dar aos cientistas de dados uma experiência coesa e intuitiva.

ELA É A NOVA QUERIDINHA!

Vamos aprender e futricar essa nova IDE juntes?

Positron: um ambiente de desenvolvimento integrado (IDE)

Our January Meetup will be a remote gathering; the Zoom link will be posted the week of the event.

Continuing our regular tradition, our first meeting of 2026 will be a collection of lightning talks presented by members of our community like YOU. From successes to failures and from beginner to advanced, we want to hear about your R experience. Talks are expected to be 5-7 minutes, not highly polished, and presented in rapid-fire succession. We'd love to hear your perspective!

The meeting will be virtual and open to all; speakers from the local SLC community will be given preference for spots. Please submit your lightning talk idea [here](https://forms.gle/jKbWn8nJ7NrbX8iDA)!
