aggregate: meet, greet, learn, collaborate on June 15, 2022

Please join us for the 50th R aggRegate meetup on Zoom! We welcome current or aspiring R users who have any level of experience with the R programming language.

Our goal is to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, help each other troubleshoot coding problems, and meet new fellow R users.

No topic is off limits, and you may attend even if you don’t feel that you have anything to share. Come learn with us!

When: Thursday, April 28th, 2022 @ 6:30-8 PM
Where: Online: zoom info provided soon (provided after you join).

Agenda:

• Discussion of median polish and exploratory data analysis by John Smith. Tables don’t get much emphasis in discussions of exploratory data analysis like Hadley’s new R for Data Science book or Roger Peng’s Exploratory Data Analysis with R. Let’s explore Median Polish, a method invented by John W. Tukey in the 70’s, that is implemented in R’s Base Stats that helps us explore a table’s characteristics and structure easily and deeply.

• Brief intro/R project or problem: We'll take turns talking about an R project we're working on, a data/data-science problem, or something we want to learn, etc.

• Next, anyone can share some code they've been working on and want help with / want feedback on. Make sure to have this ready before the meeting.

• Before arriving, use the pdxrlang/aggregate GitHub repository to discuss ideas for things to work on at aggregate - https://github.com/pdxrlang/aggregate/issues

Please note that this event, like all PDX R events, adheres to the PDX R Code of Conduct: https://pdxrlang.com/code-of-conduct.html We are dedicated to a safe learning environment to all.
