Join this small group for a step-by-step approach to learn the R language. Each session is filled with real-life examples and participants are welcome to suggest and present topics. If you have just started with R this is the perfect chance to find out about data analysis with a group of people rather than on your own.

R is an open source programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphical visualization. R has an estimated one million users worldwide, and its user base is growing. While most commonly used within academia, in fields such as computational biology and applied statistics, it is gaining currency in commercial areas such as quantitative finance and business intelligence. Among R's strengths as a language are its powerful built-in tools for inferential statistics, its comp …

Our group is for those interested in computational dynamic {portfolio optimization, risk management, indexes  tracking} and dynamic economic. We will share experience and knowledge in the field, and help each other with ideas and projects. This group is about using tools from stochastic control theory, dynamic programing, kalman filters, signal processing, non-linear and combinatorial optimization in order to model and understand the above mentioned subject. Any person that feels comf …
