The 16th Cologne R user group meeting is scheduled for this Friday, 4 December 2015 and we have great line up with three talks followed by networking drinks.

• Monitoring process change using Bayesian methods (Mick Cooney)
  A common business problem is to evaluate the effect of a change of process, and this talk will discuss a straightforward approach to this using conjugate priors.
  
• Editing R files with DataJoy (Dietmar Janetzko)
  Brief introduction to the online collaborative data analysis platform DataJoy.
  
• Emoticons decoder for social media sentiment analysis in R (Jessica Peterka-Bonetta)
  While R seems to be able to display some emoticons properly, many other times it doesn’t, making any further analysis impossible unless you get rid of them. With a little hack, I decoded these emoticons and put them all in a dictionary for further use.
  

Venue: Startplatz, Im Mediapark, 550670 Köln
