Event Description

R is a multifunctional, open source tool used to do data visualization, statistical analysis, and data science across diverse sectors, fields, and industries. Getting the most out of R requires constant learning and skill development because it is always changing.

Testimonials

Participants noted the following highlights from noRth 2020 and 2019:

“Seeing a wide range of R content, from beginner to expert packages and programming, was very eye opening and helped me get a sense of what I may be missing in my own practice.”

“Hearing from developers and other users on new packages that I haven't worked with yet.”

“I valued the way of approaching each topic which involved introducing some packages and providing basic techniques to use it through careful examples. Even people from completely unrelated fields could take away something.”

“I got to meet so many people that I wouldn't have generally and learn about all the cool things that they do.”

"Hearing the rationale behind decisions from package developers."
