R is an open source programming language/software that provides an environment for statistical and data analysis; RStudio is a User Interface that runs R in the background. This talk will provide a broad overview of R and RStudio and how it might help you create graphics, data manipulation and analyses.

Speaker:

Emily Jones is the resident Data Scientist at the PlayStation San Diego Studios providing support on all aspects of game development for multiple titles. Utilizing statistics and technology to solve various quandaries since 2012, Jones provides support through advanced analytics technologies and statistical insights. Prior to PlayStation, Jones worked at Rockstar Games where she contributed insights into player behavior and established systems to identify and monitor in-game cheating; she also worked at Hanover Insurance Group, where she utilized machine learning and developed predictive models to classify and predict policy lifecycles. Jones has her MS in Biostatistics from UMass Amherst and BA in Mathematics from Cal State Fullerton. When not hunched over her dual monitors, straining her eyes on lines of code or statistical computations, Jones can be found gaming, loving on dogs (including her own precious pup Clancy) or watching a live band at a local venue.
