About the group

Barcelona R aims to bring together the R and Data Science community of Barcelona through a fun and social meet-up. The events that we organise are open to anyone interested to find out exciting ways to use R in data science.

We welcome R users of all levels, data enthousiasts from all backgrounds and simply anyone who is curious to learn more about programming using R and data analysis. During each Barcelona R event we run the following activities:

Coding Workshops

A workshop that covers one of the many different topics related to R.
This workshop offers an opportunity to learn something new in a practical format of live coding and exercises in R.
Check out below for more details.

Presentations

Depending on availability, we aim to offer presentations from active R users.
These presentations show how R is used to solve data science problems or showcase new packages and features.
Check out below for more details.

Networking

For on-site events we like to get to know one another through networking. We think that this is a great way to share our experiences of using R in our everyday coding lives and discuss our data science problems.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP

Introduction to Machine Learning in R

tidymodels
  • {tidymodels} is a framework package aiming to streamline Machine Learning tasks and unify the interface of various algorithms that are available in CRAN while following the tidyverse principles.
  • Topics:
    - Define the problem and evaluation metrics
  • - Split the data and design the formula for the model
  • - Choose an algorithm, then fit a model, then use it to predict and evaluate performance.
  • Delivered by:
