Current state and prospects of R-packages for the design of experiments

This event is hosted by the Canberra Branch is the Statistical Society of Australia. RLadies Canberra members are invited to attend in-person at Allan Barton Forum, The Australian National University, or by the online stream via Zoom.

The presenter, Dr. Emi Tanaka, is a lecturer in statistics at Monash University whose primary interest is to develop impactful statistical methods and tools that can readily be used by practitioners. Her research area includes data visualisation, mixed models and experimental designs, motivated primarily by problems in bioinformatics and agricultural sciences.

In this presentation, Emi will give an overview about the current state and prospects of R-packages for the design of experiments. She will also introduce an object-oriented programming system, called the grammar of experimental designs, that is designed to specify experimental designs encapsulated in a cognitive framework and implemented as the edibble R-package.
