Visualising High-dimensional Data with R workshop

Join our workshop on Visualising High-dimensional Data with R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series!

Here’s some more info:

Title: Visualising High-dimensional Data with R

Date: Thursday, October 1st, 10:00 – 12:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Dianne Cook is Professor of Statistics at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. She is a world leader in data visualisation, especially the visualisation of high-dimensional data using tours with low-dimensional projections, and projection pursuit. She also works on bridging the gap between exploratory graphics and statistical inference. Di is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, past editor of the Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics, and the R Journal, elected Ordinary Member of the R Foundation, and elected member of the International Statistical Institute.

Description: This is for scientists and data science practitioners who regularly work with high-dimensional data and models and are interested in learning how to better visualise them. You will learn about recognising structure in high-dimensional data, including clusters, outliers, non-linear relationships, and how this can be used with methods such as supervised classification, cluster analysis and non-linear dimension reduction.

Background: Participants should have a good working knowledge of R, and some background in multivariate statistical methods and/or data mining techniques.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)

Please note that the registration confirmation is sent 1 day before the workshop to all registered participants rather than immediately after registration

How can I register?

If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.

How can I sponsor a student?

• Go to https://bit.ly/3wvwMA6 or https://bit.ly/4aD5LMC or https://bit.ly/3PFxtNA and donate at least 20 euro (or 17 GBP or 20 USD or 800 UAH). Feel free to donate more if you can, all proceeds go to support Ukraine!
• Save your donation receipt (after the donation is processed, there is an option to enter your email address on the website to which the donation receipt is sent)
• Fill in the sponsorship form, attaching the screenshot of the donation receipt (please attach the screenshot of the donation receipt that was emailed to you rather than the page you see after the donation). You can indicate whether you want to sponsor a particular student or we can allocate this spot ourselves to the students from the waiting list. You can also indicate whether you prefer us to prioritize students from developing countries when assigning place(s) that you sponsored.

If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).

You can also find more information about this workshop series, a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.

Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!
