Big Data with R – Exercise book

by James Blair

This 2-day workshop covers how to analyze large amounts of data in R. We will focus on scaling up our analyses using the same dplyr verbs that we use in our everyday work. We will use dplyr with data.table, databases, and Spark. We will also cover best practices on visualizing, modeling, and sharing against these data sources. Where applicable, we will review recommended connection settings, security best practices, and deployment options.

Fundamentals of Wrangling Healthcare Data with R

by J. Kyle Armstrong

“In this course we will review some of the tools of the trade, namely, R’s tidyverse (Wickham and Grolemund 2017; Winter 2019) – a collection of R packages designed with a common framework to aide in common data wrangling and data management tasks.

Data Wrangling is one subset set of skills within the Data Science Process. We will carefully investigate how decisions made while collecting and preparing the data have down-stream effects on model performance.”

Applied Microeconometrics with R

by Achim Zeileis

“This project will gradually turn the course materials for the “Econometrics and Statistics: Microeconometrics” course at Universität Innsbruck into an online book.

The topics covered roughly follow the book Analysis of Microdata by Winkelmann & Boes (2009, Springer-Verlag) and encompass: models for categorical responses (binary, multinomial, ordered), count data, limited dependent variables, and duration models.”

Flexible Regression Models

by Nikolaus Umlauf

This script aims to cover the core knowledge of flexible regression models, frequentist and Bayesian estimation, computational details and software implementations. The script assumes a certain basic knowledge of the linear regression model and the generalized linear model (GLM).

Larger-Than-Memory Data Workflows with Apache Arrow

by Danielle Navarro

In this tutorial you will learn how to use the arrow R package to create seamless engineering-to-analysis data pipelines. You’ll learn how to use interoperable data file formats like Parquet or Feather for efficient storage and data access. You’ll learn how to exercise fine control over data types to avoid common data pipeline problems. During the tutorial you’ll be processing larger-than-memory files and multi-file datasets with familiar dplyr syntax, and working with data in cloud storage.

Analysing Data using Linear Models

by Stéphanie M. van den Berg

“This book is for bachelor students in social, behavioural and management sciences that want to learn how to analyse their data, with the specific aim to answer research questions. The book has a practical take on data analysis: how to do it, how to interpret the results, and how to report the results. All techniques are presented within the framework of linear models: this includes simple and multiple regression models, linear mixed models and generalised linear models. This approach is illustrated using R.”
