What we're about
We are the local R user group for Salt Lake City, UT. R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics (http://www.r-project.org/). Our goal is to support and share R experience and knowledge among its users in the SLC and University of Utah community. We would like to hear how you use and enjoy the R language and statistical programming environment.
Check us out on Github (https://github.com/slc-rug)! And check out the R Consortium and R Community Code of Conduct (https://wiki.r-consortium.org/view/R_Consortium_and_the_R_Community_Code_of_Conduct).

Our August Meetup will be a remote gathering; the Zoom link will be posted the week of the event.
Generative art has become very popular in the R community over the past few years. Using generative art pieces as examples, this talk will cover what is generative art, some common approaches to building generative art systems in R, and de-mystify some generative art techniques commonly used.
Ijeamaka Anyene Fumagalli is a full-time healthcare data analyst and free-time computational artist. She uses her background in epidemiology and data science to enable and support research regarding cancer survivorship. But you can also find her online sharing data art, creating generative art systems, and hyping up the recreation of art as a practice of improving coding skills.

Our September Meetup will be a remote gathering; the Zoom link will be posted the week of the event.
Communicating the results of a logistic regression to a non-technical audience can be challenging because the parameters are on a log-odds scale. This talk will explore several visualization options for presenting logistic regression results that are both interpretable and meaningful to your stakeholders who might not know what a log-odds or odds ratio is. This talk will also explore the pros and cons of each visualization, and in which situations one might choose one visualization over the others.
