Come join R-Ladies Ottawa for a fun, interactive mini-coding session! For this event, we will be using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (https://www.cpsc.gov/Research--Statistics/NEISS-Injury-Data/). A cleaned-up version of the data can be found here (https://github.com/hadley/neiss) under data.

The goal of this exercise is to find meaningful relationships in the data. We can use these data to analyse all sorts of questions such as: Do forks cause more injuries than spoons? Which room in a house is more dangerous? And any other injury-related questions you can come up with...

Who is this for?
New and experienced R users alike! Let's learn together! All are welcome, including R-Ladies Ottawa members and R-Ladies from around the world.

What do I need?
You'll need a computer with videoconferencing capabilities and R.

Where will it take place?
Please join us online via Zoom. A link to join will be provided when you RSVP.

All events are intended for women as leaders, mentors, members, and attendees. We are emphatically queer and trans friendly. Men are welcomed to attend as guests and must be accompanied by the R-Lady who invited them. This group was created so those who identify as women have a comfortable place to learn. If you would like to attend and feel excluded, please introduce yourself to an organizer.
