Expanding Open Data Horizons with R and RStudio
발표 내용
For the full promise of open data to be realized, the data must be transformed into opportunity and value. Unless open data initiatives result in lasting, tangible benefits for both the public and private sectors, the sustainability of the entire open data movement falls into question. Comprehensive data analytic tools like R can be the solution to this challenge. In this session we will use RStudio to follow the entire lifecycle of an open data analytics project. From importing the data to communicating a compelling story through data visualization, hear how common open data challenges can be overcome by leveraging the power of R and RStudio.
