Help us communicate
Please talk about our R group with your colleagues.
You can also print this poster and put it up somewhere at work.
Join our R working sessions in Grenoble
Each month, we will organize one working session of 2 hours (on thursdays, from 16h-18h, at the IMAG building).
Please find the guidelines for these sessions:
Everyone is welcome (beginners to advanced R users, just bring your laptop).
Presentations/tutorials will last 30 to 60 min, on some R topics that can be useful to many people, with practical examples.
We want to have a lightning talk (5 min) after the main session so that people can quickly present how they use R in their work (or a specific package, etc.).
During the second part of the session, people could ask and answer some questions about specific problems they encounter when coding in R.
During this time, food and sodas will be offered by the Grenoble Alpes Data Institute.
If you wish to share your R experience during a working session and/or to co-animate a working session, please contact us.
Schedule of 2018-2019

In this presentation, we will see the potential amazing applications of R. Then, we will compile links to where you can learn R (from scratch or to become more advanced). Finally, we will announce the coming sessions for this academic year.
imager is an R package for image processing. It is meant to be fast, flexible and to integrate well with standard R functions and data structures. imager is based on CImg, a C++ library for image processing with a clean and easy-to-use API.
During this presentation I will present the lm and glm functions for handling linear models with R. I will show how to make analysis with linear models using an original dataset containing the result of the French presidential 2017 election as well as socio-economic variables.
Drake is a general-purpose workflow manager for data-driven tasks. It rebuilds intermediate data objects when their dependencies change, and it skips work when the results are already up to date. Not every runthrough starts from scratch, and completed workflows have tangible evidence of reproducibility. Package drake also supports scalability, parallel computing, and a smooth user experience when it comes to setting up, deploying, and maintaining data science projects.
This session will introduce the package {keras}, a neural network API allowing R users to build and experiment deep learning models within their preferred environment. The presentation will be illustrated with a brief tutorial on image classification based on the classical handwritten digits dataset.
As nicely written by Hadley Wickham R guru, "Good coding style is like correct punctuation: you can manage without it, butitsuremakesthingseasiertoread." In this session, we will review good practices to write 1) R code and 2) R packages. In a first part, we will present some ideas of the tidyverse style guide (following http://style.tidyverse.org/) including the styler package (interactively restyle selected text) and the lintr package (automated style checks). The second part will be devoted to writing R packages, which is at the basis of reproducibility. We will learn how to use the Roxygen package to (quite automatically) turn personal code into reusable code (following http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/). Make sure you have the latest versions of RStudio, styler, lintr, and Roxygen packages installed.
Learn about what is R Markdown and how to use this format. We will also present the many possibilities of R Markdown: 1/ Compile a single R Markdown document to a report in different formats, such as PDF, HTML, or Word. 2/ Create notebooks in which you can directly run code chunks interactively. 3/ Make slides for presentations (HTML5, LaTeX Beamer, or PowerPoint). 4/ Produce dashboards with flexible, interactive, and attractive layouts. 5/ Build interactive applications based on Shiny. 6/ Write journal articles. 7/ Author books of multiple chapters. 8/ Generate websites and blogs.
