How Anyone Can Make Predictions in R in Minutes!
Presenter: Brett Lohmeyer, Director of Decision Science at Anvil Analytics
You, yes you, can be up-and-running in the data-driven programming language R in just a few minutes making predictions and forecasts on your company’s real Google Analytics data. This is not for data scientists, machine learning analysts, or software developers. This is for the rest of us. People that have used Excel but don’t have experience with developing software.
There is a big push back in the data science community in the last few years on people without PhDs in statistics using machine learning. I think it is because many professionals are scared. They are scared because improvements in easy-to-use and 100% free programming languages are making it easy for anyone to do basic statistical analysis and machine learning and could eliminate their jobs.
I have the opposite opinion. Giving everyone a taste of how easy it is to the basics will increase people wanting to leverage data scientists to do the really, really cool stuff!
In this presentation, I will review the following:
-An introduction of R and modeling
-How to make a prediction and a forecast using your Google Analytics
-Give examples of other cool stuff that can be done in R
