Workshop Overview: R is mostly known for its statistical methods on numbers. However, it is also capable of working efficiently with text and analysing it. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into how to work with text in R and introduce you to functions that allow you to even do text mining.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
    · manipulate strings efficiently
    · import text from multiple sources
    · lay the basis for working with regular expressions (regex)

In this workshop, you'll learn how VC's typically value an early stage innovation driven venture. To do that we'll go through and give examples on how to forecast sales and how to set pricing, how to forecast expenses and how to figure out the amount of capital needed to finance your business. We'll also explore some of the more common sources of cash from both public institutions and private organisations.

Workshop Overview: The goal of this workshop is to serve as an introduction to Bayesian models and tools for analyzing missing or partially observed data. Specifically, we will cover the different types of missing data that one can encounter when working on real problems and various approaches for analyzing the incomplete data under different assumptions.  We will begin by considering problems where observations for some characteristics are completely missing in the original dataset. Then we will address Bayesian models for partially observed values, e.g.

Workshop Overview: As part of the data science life cycle series, this workshop will introduce you to the intuitive Quarto language in RStudio, and show you how to weave together your R code, output and graphs with text to produce documents and slides. Quarto is a powerful means to turn your analyses in R into documents or presentations as a PDF, HTML, Word, PowerPoint, etc. This tool will be very handy for your next statistics assignment or the conference talk you will be giving.
