About us

This repository represents the joint effort of the City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy. During active semesters we hold weekly meetings, where a chapter of a book is presented by a developing instructor with a focus on modern applied statistical methodology and using the R language. Our meetings are open to all (see details below), and materials we produce are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License. We hope you find these materials useful and will join our sessions.

Getting started

1. Leave a comment on the "Welcome to the Advanced R Book Club" Issue to introduce yourself and to let us know your GitHub username.

2. Join our Google Group (open membership) and sign up to receive emails by visiting https://groups.google.com/g/cuny-data-science-book-club.

3. Install R and RStudio following these instructions. Here is a short video showing how to use RStudio to contribute to this Github repo.

4. Sign up for a GitHub account, then introduce yourself on the "Welcome to the Advanced R Book Club" issue of this repository, under Issues. You will then be able to contribute your presentation and/or exercise notes using file upload directly here, or by using git. If you want to use git instead of simple file upload but don't know what that means, follow this tutorial. The process in RStudio is documented here or there is a video here.

Presenting

1. Pick the date or topic that best suits you and reserve it on the presentation schedule wiki, adding your GitHub username to the schedule table.

2. Read the required section of the book, and do the associated exercises that you will present.

3. Edit the presentation file, using the template provided in the folder corresponding to the textbook name. See more information about making Slidy presentations.

4. Commit the presentation to GitHub so that it is available to others. Don't know what that means? The process is documented here or there is a video here.

Unable to join with Zoom link

Hi all,

Is the Zoom link still the same as the one posted in the Google Groups for the Advanced R club? I haven't been able to join the meeting using that link for the last two meetings. Please let me know if I should try with something else.

Thanks!
Tram

move repo to waldronlab

Hi Jesica! @jsrodriguezl

I hope you're doing well!
I was wondering if you could rename the repository to data-science-seminar and then accept the pull request from waldronlab/data-science-seminar.

After that, you'd have to transfer ownership to the waldronlab so that we
can make further changes to it.

Thank you!

-Marcel

Welcome

Hi all, I'm co-organizing this seminar with Arne Bathke. Really looking forward to formalizing my understanding of causal inference during this next session.

After you leave a comment here, I will give you write permission to this repository and its wiki.

Source file for Causal Inference chapter 1

Please add source file also to commit c15493e.

Welcome to the Advanced R Book Club!

My name is Chloe Mirzayi and I am a recent doctoral graduate from CUNY SPH. I'll be coordinating the book club for Advanced R. Looking forward to learning more about objects in R, in particular.

Unable to join Google Groups

Hello!

I am looking for the Zoom link for the meeting for Advanced R but the Google Groups says that the content is unavailable and that I may not have permission. Is this the correct group to join to receive the link?

Thanks,
Tram
