Google Tech Talk (more info below)
June 6, 2011

Presented by Hadley Wickham, Assistant Professor, Dobelman Family Junior Chair, Department of Statistics, Rice University.

ABSTRACT

Data analysis, the process of converting data into knowledge, insight and understanding, is a critical part of statistics, but there's surprisingly little research on it. In this talk I'll introduce some of my recent work, including a model of data analysis. I'm a passionate advocate of programming that data analysis should be carried out using a programming language, and I'll justify this by discussing some of the requirement of good data analysis (reproducibility, automation and communication). With these in mind, I'll introduce you to a powerful set of tools for better understanding data: the statistical programming language R, and the ggplot2 domain specific language (DSL) for visualisation.

  • very informative....nice one!

  • I like this post. I just find a company Informatics Outsourcing from Google search, they are Offshore Market Research service providing both Quantitative Market Research and Qualitative Market Research Worldwide with affordable price.

  • You can check out my channel off2themovies2 it has a good tutorial on getting into R and how to do basic analyses in R.

  • pls normalize the video before upload

  • thanks for disseminating

  • I wish that I had formal instruction in use of R. As someone who tried to get into it completely independently and apply it to my research, I felt totally lost and that it would be clearly a loosing proposition. Even the first time I tried to install it an error was thrown and I can't use it at all. Searched and found other people had the same problem... and it pretty much ended there.
