This is the second in the series of R-related conferences and workshops offered as part of the biannual International Indian Statistical Association meeting. The first was held in Mumbai in 2019. The 2022 day-long workshop will take place at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore on December 30, 2022.
This workshop has been endorsed by the R Foundation and by Bioconductor.
These workshops are a way for students and researchers in statistics and data science to get advanced training in the open source software R, a widely used statistical environment with numerous packages implementing advanced statistical and data science methodologies.
Our goal is not merely to train participants, but also to introduce them to the larger community of useRs. Perhaps the most distinguishing features of R use in data science is the dedicated community of useRs who are happy to provide a friendly on-ramp to those who are interested in becoming proficient in R. This community is visible on all the social platforms and particularly active on Twitter, for instance.
We are committed to producing a conference that reflects the great diversity of the R Community.
We have two exciting workshops, each lasting 1/2 day. See Schedule for more information.
If you are a researcher or a student (undergraduate or graduate) at an academic institution in India, you will benefit from this workshop and learn about how to engage with the R community and contribute to it. See how to apply to participate.
