# Descriptions

## Segmentation using NMF decomposition

From the nowadays segmentation, we require them to follow below features:
- it should be balanced,
- segments should be distinctive,
- the discovered over and under indexed features within segments should create a meaningful story,
- and in the best case the amount of differentiative factors that drives segmentation should be small.

The last requirement often is a bottleneck in the scenario of a survey where respondents are asked enormous amount of questions.

The solution, one from many, to this use case can be the nonnegative matrix factorization that in a one attempt segments respondents and their features!

I'll present concept of the NMF decomposition and I'll present applications in R, with the explanation of diagnostic plots.

Working with high dimensional data? Often facing the need to group observations? That's a good presentation for you.

## Full Stack Data Science in R

Data science requires more than just sufficient statistical knowledge to create a model. Data, often obtained from different sources, must be purified, combined and unified, dry analysis results visualized and the model itself made available in a form accessible to the client. The R environment provides tools to support every stage of this process: from data collection through model development to the development of web applications. During my talk, I will present three packages improving the quality of the full stack data science in R: drake, mlr and shinyproxy.
