London R | Meetup | Jul 2025

------ Welcome, London R Users! ------

Welcome back!

As before, the event will be brought to you by Datacove. We are a Data and Analytics Consultancy Team based in Brighton, with experience in founding many well-attended R & Python events. Plus, home of the EARL Conference! We work across multiple streams - from marketing and customer analytics, to bespoke dashboards, process automation, and training! :)

We will be supported by the generous team at Incubeta. Hosted by Abbie Brookes and Jeremy Horne from Datacove.

Please note this venue holds 70 people.

------ Talk One ------
We’re delighted to welcome Robert Grant, Chartered Statistician at Bayescamp, who will be giving a talk titled:
"Supporting Policy and Decisions with Bayesian Meta-Analysis of Existing Studies"
Robert will explore how Bayesian meta-analysis can help combine evidence from multiple studies, even when faced with inconsistencies or missing data. He’ll give an overview of Bayesian models, introduce practical R tools (including Stan and JAGS), and share how these methods can improve policy and decision-making.
