“Visualization can surprise, but it doesn’t scale. Modeling scales well, but it can’t fundamentally surprise.” – Hadley Wickham.
One of the most important phases in the Data Analysis process is data visualization. It is an inherently human activity which relies on our ability to comprehend visual information and make sense of patterns. However, there’s only so much we can spend in visualizing the data, and regardless how many hours we may decide to put into it, it is never going to be enough.

The next RLadies-Oslo next meetup is set for December 3rd, with the amazing @ZazzValette presenting “Topic modelling - what is it, and how does VG use it?”
Topic models (TM) are powerful tools to programmatically uncover textual structure in what otherwise appear to be just plain unstructured text. The applications of TM are many, like content analysis, article search, and personalisation of content. Isabelle Valette will take us through what topic models are, the way the algorithm works, and how VG has been using it inside and outside the newsroom.

Session leader: Kathrine Frey Frøslie
(event in Norwegian)
For to år siden satte statistiker Kathrine Frey Frøslie fart på strikkepinnene og ga seg i kast med den opplagte oppgaven det er å formidle kunnskap om forskning og statistikk gjennom strikkeprosjekter. Smittespredning og vaksinedekning har vært tema for flere elegante ullkreasjoner og gjesteblogginnlegg av førstelektor Tone Fredsvik Gregers ved UiO. På statistrikketreffet får du høre mer om dette, se plagg som viser kritisk vaksinedekning for ulike sykdommer og lære hvordan du kan strikke en lekker vaksinedekningsklut som du kan gi til din yndlingsvaksinemotstander.

Session leader: Raoul Wolf
Raoul will share his experience from simplifying a workflow by writing an R package; under the restriction of minimal dependencies, while maintaining full compatibility for tidyverse. In his own words: «I was working on a new project and I noticed I was sourcing dozens of functions from multiple scripts. I thought to myself: “I might as well do what everyone is doing and write a package!» Come and join us in learning how to identify the need for a package, strategically plan the process of writing the package, and to keep track on applicability and usability.
