During the pandemic, we have seen a lot of growth within the R community. Recently, R Consortium talked to Emilio López Cano, president of R Hispano, about the growth of... The post R Hispano talks about the growth of local groups appeared first on R Consortium.

Recurrent Neural Networks, This is a follow-up to one of our previous posts, which you can read here if you missed it. Let’s look into Recurrent Neural Networks and the different types of issues that they may handle. RNN is a deep l...

Intro Early last year I posted on my blog an attempt to recreate a Yahoo Finance graphic. Now, thanks to the work of Dr Paul Murrell on the grid and gggrid packages, I have the tools to polish this one off. Reference Article Here is a streamlined ...

The concept of “wide data” is relative. In some domains 100 columns is considered “wide”, while in others that’s perfectly normal and you’d need to have thousands (or tens of thousands!) of columns for it to be considered even remotely “wide”. The data that we work with at Fathom ...

Introduction Simple linear regression: reminder Principle Equation Interpretations of coefficients \(\widehat\beta\) Significance of the relationship Correlation does not imply causation Conditions of application Visualizations Multiple linear regression Principle Equation Interpretations of coefficients \(\widehat\beta\) Conditions of application How to choose a good linear model? \(P\)-value associated to the ...

Novel Algebraic Approaches to Maximum Likelihood Estimation The seventh “One World webinar” organized by YoungStatS will take place on November 17th, 2021. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a tool in data analysis to estimate a probability di...

Tree-based models are probably the second easiest ML technique for explaining the model to a non-data scientist. I am a big fan of tree-based models because of their simplicity and interpretability. But, when I try to visualize them is, when it gets my nerves. There are so many packages out ...

A bit more than two weeks ago, Germany held a federal election and, naturally, this is always reason for a lot of discussions and subjective truths. One subjective truth I encountered myself related to how fast the party CDU/CSU was able to collect and...

Convolutional neural networks, Let’s look at a picture classification problem. Assume you have a data set including numerous photographs of planes and cars. And you’d like to create a model that can recognize and distinguish them. Pleas...

This post explains how to call Java functions from jar file in R. This is useful especially when derivatives pricing or risk calculation engine already have been developed well in the form of Java in your company. It is more efficient to use time-te...

The deadline for submitting proposals is October 31, 2021. The September 2021 ISC Call for Proposals is now open. The R Consortium’s Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) solicits progressive, pioneering projects... The post September 2021 ISC Call for Proposals – Now Open! appeared first on R Consortium.

I have put together a complete guide to model training, docker file creation and then consuming your API in R. This has arisen as part of a workshop the NHS-R community are doing around R in Production: show and tell, but instead of just making it local, I thought I ...

Mirai Solutions stays engaged in the development and maintenance of the front-end of the OASIS LMF (Loss Modeling Framework) platform. The OASIS UI is under constant development, with new features coming out on a regular basis to enhance its usabili...
