This workshop will delve into common data processing and exploration techniques using R. The main focus will be on constructing and manipulating R data objects, and using packages that enhance and facilitate operations that typically arise when dealing with data, including faster I/O, variable creation and manipulation, and grouped operations, especially as a prelude to […]
The hackathon’s goal is to introduce the Simple Run-Time Infrastructure software toolkit (SRTI) to the participants, and provide a template project consisting of multiple simulators, each with a specialized purpose, relating to a natural-disaster scenario. This is a free event and all students from any school/institution are welcome. You need basic coding skills to participate. […]
