AGENDA

• 18:00 Doors Open
• 18:15 Introduction (15min, Start of Virtual Meetup)
• 18:30 pdfmole – Extracting Tables from PDF files (Florian Schwendinger)
• 19:15 holiglm – Holistic Generalized Linear Models (Benjamin Schwendinger)
• 20:00 (End)

DETAILS

pdfmole

To read-in the data either

• pdfminer
• pdfboxr or
• tesseract can be used.

In principle, any package which returns the data in a similar format could be used. The packages pdfminer and pdfboxr can be used if the PDF-file store already the text (in most cases) if the PDF contains only images of the tables tesseract can be used.

holiglm

Holistic linear regression extends the classical best subset selection problem by adding additional constraints designed to improve the model quality. These constraints include sparsity-inducing constraints, sign-coherence constraints and linear constraints. The R package holiglm provides functionality to model and fit holistic generalized linear models. By making use of state-of-the-art conic mixed-integer solvers, the package can reliably solve GLMs for Gaussian, binomial and Poisson responses with a multitude of holistic constraints. The high-level interface simplifies the constraint specification and can be used as a drop-in replacement for the stats::glm() function.
