XLSolutions Corporation is proud to announce our March 2007 R/S: Fundamentals and Programming Techniques - in Princeton March 1-2, 2007 : http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/Rfund.htm This two-day beginner to intermediate R/S-plus course focuses on a broad spectrum of topics, from reading raw data to a comparison of R and S. We will learn the essentials of data manipulation, graphical visualization and R/S-plus programming. We will explore statistical data analysis tools,including graphics with data sets. How to enhance your plots, build your own packages (librairies) and connect via ODBC,etc. The course will give beginners a strong foundation for becoming a versatile programmer, and will expose experienced users to skills that make a better programmer. http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/Rfund.htm Other courses: (1) R/S System: Advanced Programming - San Francisco, March 15-16, 2007 (2) Data Mining: Practical Tools and Techniques in R/Splus - Salt Lake City, March 26-27, 2007 (3) Statistics II: Regression Modeling Strategies in R/Splus, New York City - March 8-9, 2007 (4) Microarrays Data Analysis with R/S+ and GGobi, Chicago - March 5-6, 2007, Atlanta - March 8-9, 2007, - San Diego, March 15-16, 2007 Ask for group discount and reserve your seat Now - Earlybird Rates.

Email Sue Turner: sue at xlsolutions- corp.com (1) R/S System: Advanced Programming - San Francisco, March 15-16, 2007 This advanced course is designed for people who use R or S-Plus in their day-to-day work and want to maximize the efficiency of their programs. Participants will learn in depth advanced programming techniques that are available in R and S-Plus. This course will improve your general strategies and extend your programming skills. This two-day course will introduce participants to many programming techniques and tools. In addition a special session dedicated to making S-Plus functions more efficient will focus on "fast objects" and "fast functions". The advanced programming techniques include object orientation, classes, inheritance and methods. http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/Radv.htm (2) Data Mining: Practical Tools and Techniques in R/Splus - Salt Lake City, March 26-27, 2007 This course gives students an understanding of R/Splus tools used to investigate the main tasks that predictive analytics and exploratory data mining is usually called upon to accomplish and data preparation which is universally held as the key to successful data mining. We focus on the most common data mining tasks which are: Description, Estimation, Prediction, Classification, Clustering, Association and the need for Dimension Reduction with Principal Components and Factor Analysis. Analytical methods used in the class include decision trees, logistic regression, neural networks, link analysis (social networks) and Kernel-based Methods (SVMs). http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/RSMining.htm (3) S-PLUS / R: Fundamentals and Programming Techniques - San Francisco, March 12-13, 2007 - Washington DC, March 5-6, 2007 - Princeton March 1-2, 2007 - San Diego, March 15-16, 2007 This two-day beginner to intermediate R/S-plus course focuses on a broad spectrum of topics, from reading raw data to a comparison of R and S. We will learn the essentials of data manipulation, graphical visualization and R/S-plus programming. We will explore statistical data analysis tools,including graphics with data sets.

The first part of the course presents the following elements of multivariable predictive modeling for a single response variable: using regression splines to relax linearity assumptions, perils of variable selection and overfitting, where to spend degrees of freedom, shrinkage, imputation of missing data, data reduction, and interaction surfaces. http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/Rstats2.htm (5) Microarrays Data Analysis with R/S+ and GGobi, Chicago - March 5-6, 2007, Atlanta - March 8-9, 2007, - San Diego, March 15-16, 2007 This two-day beginner to intermediate course is designed for people involved in microarrays data analysis. Newly developed analysis methods for microarrays data analysis are often available from open-source (R,Bioconductor, etc) and can also be used in S+. Thanks to the great flexibility of R and S languages these methods and tools can be easily adapted to own data. In this course, we'll review R/S packages (librairies) for microarray analysis. We'll also explore GGobi interactive and dynamic graphics for microarrays analysis, statistical learning methods and strategies for large data. http://www.xlsolutions-corp.com/Rarrays.htm Email us for group discounts: sue at xlsolutions-corp.com Phone: 206 686 1578 Visit us: www.xlsolutions-corp.com/training.htm Please let us know if you and your colleagues are interested in this class to take advantage of group discount.
