Howdy y’all,

Yet again, RUG has snuck up on me. It’s that kind of year. Today (1 pm-2:30 pm) we’re trucking along with the text analysis theme, and doing some data visualization! We’re going to learn how to make a word cloud, then if we have time we’ll explore some other ways to visualize your text data. I only have a small amount of experience…[Read more]

Howdy y’all,

Wow, Friday really snuck up on me! Today we’re continuing down the text analysis road. We’re going to learn how to wrangle unstructured text into something you can analyze! We’ll be diving into the stringr package for string manipulation and use some other tidyverse package wizardry to get a tidy data set! If we have time, we can go…[Read more]

Hi folks,

DVG bi-weekly meeting is on this week (Friday, 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm)! The meeting will be pretty relaxing and we can discuss whatever you are interested in or you are currently doing in your project. I’ve prepared an R coding demo of factor analysis and visualization for survey data using ‘psych’ package. Moreover, also feel free to join…[Read more]

Howdy y’all,

I hope everyone has had a restful spring break! I’m stoked to jump back on the text analysis bandwagon this week. We’re going to take the text we scraped off the web last meeting and learn how to format it into a tidy data frame. For those who didn’t attend my workshop in March, we’re pretty much doing that! If you weren’t able to…[Read more]

Howdy y’all!

It turns out that our next scheduled RUG meeting falls during spring break! I’m taking full advantage of the break, so no RUG next Friday. Instead, let’s meet the next Friday, 04/09. I’ll send out another email that week with more details!

Also, for those RUG members who couldn’t make it to my Intro to Text Analysis in R workshop,…[Read more]

Howdy y’all,

RUG is back on! This week we’re starting a series on web scraping and text analysis in R. This week’s theme will be web scraping, where we  will learn the basics of the rvest package (similar to Beautiful Soup for python). In addition, Yuxiao is leading a workshop on predictive modeling in R right after the workshop on Friday, so we…[Read more]

Howdy y’all!

I hope everyone is doing well! The semester is fully underway and I know I’m excited to meet again to talk about R. The schedule for this semester is the same as last semester, with meetings from 1pm to 2:30pm every other Friday. See the GCDI events calendar for all of our scheduled meetings. One fun change this year is that the Pytho…[Read more]
