My blog should give a pretty good impression of things that I like: http://koaning.io My university background is in applied mathematics, econometrics and operations research with a slight specialisation in algorithms and machine learning. I taught myself how to code during my masters degree, which turned out to be a very very smart thing to do. Nowadays I try to figure out what the intersection is between probability theory, information theory and neural applications.

<p>There are two data-cleaning related factoids that are quoted often on the web: 80% of the data is unstructured, and about the same fraction of time is spent on data cleaning. Although there is little systematic research to substantiate these claims, most data analysts will agree that getting data 'clean' for analyses is both essential and time-consuming.</p>
<p>In this 90 minute tutorial we develop a systematic view on data cleaning. Using the concept of a 'statistical value chain' as starting point, we will see that data cleaning has a natural place in a statistical analyses and that data cleaning can be thought of as a two-step process. In the first step one ensures the correct technical representation of a data set (variable type, text encoding, identifiability of a value, etc.). The second step is about ensuring that data meets expectations from domain knowledge (e.g. ages must be positive, an under-aged person cannot have an income from work, etc.).</p>
<p>In this tutorial we will demonstrate, using practical examples, several tools and R packages that can be used to solve both technical and content-related issues. Topics include but are not limited to string processing and approximate text matching, date/time conversion and knowledge-based data validation and correction. We also touch upon how to measure and visualize data quality and the effects of data cleaning on statistics.</p>

<p>The focus of this tutorial is scalable machine learning using the H2O R package. H2O is an open source, distributed machine learning platform designed for big data, with the added benefit that it's easy to use on a laptop (in addition to a multi-node Hadoop or Spark cluster). The core machine learning algorithms of H2O are implemented in high-performance Java, however, fully-featured APIs are available in R, Python, Scala, REST/JSON, and also through a web interface.</p>
<p>Since H2O's algorithm implementations are distributed, this allows the software to scale to very large datasets that may not fit into RAM on a single machine. H2O currently features distributed implementations of Generalized Linear Models, Gradient Boosting Machines, Random Forest, Deep Neural Nets, dimensionality reduction methods (PCA, GLRM), clustering algorithms (K-means), anomaly detection methods, among others. The ability to create stacked ensembles, or ""Super Learners"", from a collection of supervised base learners is provided via the h2oEnsemble R package.</p>
<p>R scripts/notebook with H2O machine learning code examples will be demoed live and made available on GitHub for attendees to follow along on their laptops.</p>

<h3>Package overview</h3>
<p>The data.table R package provides fast and memory efficient ways for data manipulation together with a flexible and consistent syntax. It was first released to CRAN in 2006. It has had over 30 releases since then with the current latest stable release being v1.9.6. Over 240 CRAN and Bioconductor packages now import/depend on data.table. Its StackOverflow tag has attracted >4000 questions from users in many fields making it a top 3 asked about R package. It is the 8th most starred R package on Github.</p>
<h3>Tutorial overview</h3>
<p>In this tutorial, we will learn data.table by doing, i.e., by looking at commonly occurring data manipulation questions (based on StackOverflow R tag) and using data.table's syntax and features to solve them. Depending on time availability, we might compare/contrast them to base R / other packages.</p>
<p>Briefly, we will look at problems that cover the following features:</p>
<ol>
<li>Getting data in and out - fread + rbindlist + fwrite.</li>
<li>Grouped aggregations and column addition/updates on subsets and joins.</li>
<li>Overview of equi-, non-equi, rolling and overlapping interval joins.</li>
<li>Reshaping.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Background knowledge</h3>
<p>Familiarity with base R is essential, and with SQL is advantageous but not essential. NOTE: It would be extremely advantageous for the participants to go through the "Introduction to data.table" vignette completely. The link to vignettes is provided at the bottom of this page.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<p>R (preferably latest version, for consistency) and latest CRAN version installed.</p>
