Hello all,

My unit at the NYC Department of Transportation has a summer internship available now, so I wanted to give the opportunity to my fellow students and R users.

The position requires R, Python, and SQL. Typical duties are data analysis and dashboard creation, development in the R/Shiny and Django framework, and basic web development…[Read more]

Howdy y’all!

I don’t know about y’all, but I need a break this summer. RUG is going to take a break as well and will resume in the fall. I thought I had one more meeting in me, but some last-minute lab problems have made it too difficult to host a last meeting. In light of everything, this year has been a fun one with y’all! I truly appreciate…[Read more]

Hello all,

GC Digital Initiatives is very excited to host this year’s Digital Showcase this coming Thursday, May 13 at 6:30pm.

Please register on…[Read more]

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]

Hi All,

I hope your semester is going well and I’m excited to meet with you from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm every other Friday (starting on Mar 26th)! For more events, please check GCDI Event Calendar.

In this first meeting, I would expect to discuss with you what topics you might be interested in with respect to data visualization and hear about…[Read more]
