Talk descriptions:
"Getting Started with R" will cover:
* Downloading and installing R from CRAN on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Linux includes openSUSE, Ubuntu and Fedora.
* Running a few demos.
* The structure of CRAN.
* Where the documentation is on an installed system.
* The RSeek search engine.
Mr. Borasky will also have .ISO files of his R-based openSUSE appliance, which
is at http://borasky-resear.... If you bring blank DVDs, copies can be burned
for you. At the moment it has R, GGobi, Mondrian, Rcmdr and a bunch of natural
language processing / text mining software, both in R and otherwise, and will
also have the Spatial and ReproducibleResearch task views by the meeting. It
will run on a 32-bit PC but may not support everyone's WiFi hardware.
"R in the Wild: Qmedtrix" is the first of a (hopefully) recurring series of "R
in the Wild" talks that explore how R is actually being used in various
companies and organizations in the Portland area. Qmedtrix is "the health care
reimbursement decision expert in the workers' compensation, group health and
auto medical markets."
