General Talk: Robert Collins - Ubuntu Down Under Report
Special Interest Talk: Telford Tendys - The R environment for
statistical computing
If you look at http://www.r-project.org you can see that open-source
statistical computing has come a long way. If you are generating graphs
or doing any sort of data analysis then R is worth a look. This talk
gives a demo of R running on Linux and a quick overview of the language
structure and the graphics capabilities. This talk requires some basic
mathematical background.
As usual, SLUGlets will be running in another room (CB02.05.30) during
the 2nd half of the meeting for those who do not wish to attend the 2nd
talk.
