Heads-up to anyone attending the sold-out Data Science Summit in Las Vegas this week: I'll be there tomorrow and Thursday for the conference and to discuss R on the panel discussion “Data Science Toolset – Recipes That Win” (more details about the panel discussion below.) I'm looking forward to meeting with the other R users there — tweet or email me if you'd like to meet up.
