Wow, it's third meetup of R-Ladies Kyiv!

Wonderful Galina Dychko (https://www.linkedin.com/in/galina-dychko/) will share her knowledge of basic concepts and methods of cluster analysis in R.

The lecture is aimed to provide a beginner-friendly overview of the basic cluster analysis techniques. The focus is on the key mathematical concepts of the main clustering algorithms and how multidimensional visualization helps us to identify groups of similar objects.
We will briefly cover how to use PCA, CCA and multidimensional scaling for data visualization, how to choose clustering distance measure and run k-means, hierarchical and spectral clustering algorithms with R. Half of lecture will focus on the theoretical concepts and a half on the practical examples.

Good to have:

• basic understanding of data analysis concepts
• basic understanding of PCA and CCA algorithms
• no previous strong knowledge of R programming

Come join us, and have a chance to network with other R-users from across the city on Saturday, October 26th, 2019 at Mechnikova 2; Business Center Parus; 1991 Civic Tech Center; 18th floor.
