The Beauty of R Programming

Hi R-Ladies!

Our topic this time around is "The Beauty of R Programming: Revisiting Functional Programming & Other Topics"

The talk is going to be about programming with R in general. We will look at functions, elements of functions and functions inside of functions. Essential for the understanding of R as programming language is the interplay of functions and environments.

After a brief mention of R's scoping rules & the beauty of R packages, we will revisit if-else structures, loops and some members of the apply family.

Throughout all of this we will mention Do`s and Don'ts based on acquired experience. Don't forget to bring your laptop to try out some related exercise on the spot.

Our guest speaker this time is Verena Pflieger, a Data Scientist at the statistical consultancy INWT Statistics (www.inwt-statistics.de). She is concerned mostly with the conceptualization of trainings and is active in teaching R and giving tutorials.

As usual, Babbel, the famous language app, supports us in providing snacks, drinks and a great location.

We look forward to seeing you all!
