Description changed:
The next meeting of the Edinburgh R usergroup (EdinbR) will be at: 5-6pm Wednesday April 22nd in S1, 7 George Square (see edinbr.org for map). We again have two great talks, one for a general audience and another that's more advanced:
Reproducible research in R and RStudio by Susan Johnston :: Conducting reproducible and transparent research is not only good scientific practise, it also makes life much easier. R and the RStudio environment contain a number of useful tools for producing reproducible research, from dynamic report writing in R markdown and knitr, to integrated version control of data and analyses using git. I'll present a quick-start guide on the basics that RStudio has to offer for reproducible research, aimed at all levels of R expertise.
Interfacing C with R by Jarrod Hadfield :: Pure R code is fast to develop but can be very slow to run. Many R functions therefore call lower level languages such as C. I'll give a worked example of how to do this: and hopefully persuade people its not too difficult and often worth the extra effort.
All are welcome—come along!
