NYC R Programming Classes – starting this coming Sunday

Guest post by Vivian Zhang, original post. You can sign up for our Sunday Intensive beginner level R classes at NYC Data Science Academy meetup page or email vivian.zhang@supstat.com for more info. Brief: The course (which will meet five Sundays) will start from the basics, introducing the building blocks used for programming in R and building intuition for writing clean and robust code. We will move on to cover data analysis, applications of statistical techniques, and graphing. Date: Nov 10th, Nov 17th, Nov 24th, Dec 1st, Dec 8th (Five Sundays) Time: 12:00pm to 4pm Instructors: Scott Kostyshak (Data Scientist @ Supstat Inc, 5th year Econ PhD at Princeton Univ.)
