— Talk Abstract —
“Tidyverse vs. Base R” Speaker: Dorota Biedzio
Abstract: The rivalry between base-R and the tidyverse ends now! We will discuss the pros and cons of each, and compare code snippets to finally choose a winner! Or… instead… we can have an intellectual, even-tempered discussion because we are all professionals.
“Batch Processing R Markdown Reports” Speaker: Alyssa Goldberg
Abstract: I’ll be showing folks how to use R and RMarkdown to batch generate several reports at once - sort of like facet_wrap() but for Word documents.
