    Convex optimization is fundamental to modern statistics and machine learning, underpinning methods from least squares and ridge regression to support vector machines (SVMs) and portfolio optimization. While Python users have long enjoyed state-of-the-art convex optimization through CVXPY, R users now have access to the same capabilities through CVXR 1.8.x---a complete rewrite using R's S7...

    This workshop introduces participants to the workflow of processing, analyzing and visualizing log-data describing respondent interactions with web survey interface collected from the open and popular LimeSurvey survey platform, using the logLime R package (along with other packages: dplyr, ggplot2, ggdensity and gganimate). While discussing this process, participants will discover different...

    R has become one of the most widely used languages for geographic data science. Its strength lies in a well-established ecosystem of several hundred spatial packages that support geographic data handling, analysis, and visualization, while integrating seamlessly with R’s wider tools for data processing and statistical analysis. R's flexibility and statistical capabilities make it attractive...

    Econometrics and financial modeling
    Tutorial (3 hours)

    This workshop introduces participants to the analytics of spatial geo-located point data. It starts with data processing (reading to sf class, visualisation in ggplot, plot and interactive mapview, CRS re-projecting); then it continues with detection of density clusters (QDC, DBSCAN), degree of agglomeration (using entropy-based ETA and SPAG) and comparison of density patterns by further...

    Data analysis in R requires writing code, which remains a barrier for many domain experts. blockr is an open-source visual programming framework for R that allows users to construct reactive data pipelines by assembling modular blocks through a point-and-click interface. The framework generates reproducible R code automatically.

    This hands-on tutorial takes participants from first use to...

    Energy Systems optimization models, also know as Macro Energy System (MES) models are the key tools to evaluate energy transition and decarbonization strategies for countries, regions, and globally. The workshop introduces a set of tools and open datasets to design and compare energy transition scenarios, compile reports, all not leaving R. Hands on sessions will focus on preparing datasets...

    Tutorial (3 hours)

    Suppose you want to know how many companies there are with over 100 employees in each region of several countries. We could write this as country >> region >> company >> employees. With just two variables, you can make a two-way table of counts with row or column percentages. But this does not easily generalize to larger numbers of variables, and attempts to display this kind of information...

    Efficient programming
    Tutorial (3 hours)

    This tutorial provides an introduction to the Futureverse (https://www.futureverse.org), a cohesive package ecosystem designed to facilitate and simplify parallel and distributed computing in R.

    While accessible to beginners and those with some R experience, this workshop also provides valuable insights for more advanced users. We will focus on the new futurize() function, which...

    Would your code be better if you had someone by your side to talk through it? Or would your code be clearer if you might have to hand over the keyboard to someone at any moment?

    Pair programming is a collaboration technique widely used in the software industry – it involves two people working together on one programming task. One person is the driver, suggesting solutions and typing the...

    Analysis best practices and workflows
    Tutorial (3 hours)

    Abstract. This workshop introduces participants to using the Quarto system for creating reproducible documents. Participants will learn how to create Quarto documents, including a complete workflow from data loading and wrangling to analysis and automated document generation. The final document format can be many; however, the workshop focuses on DOCX with custom styling.
