In our next MünsteR Meetup, Jenny Saatkamp will present her Blog Mining analysis, which is based on 1.500 blog posts from the codecentric company blog (https://blog.codecentric.de/) and makes use of different mining techniques for metadata and text data.
The presentation is divided into two parts:
First, new insights into the blog posts and their success is gained using metadata. Therefore, diverse methods and R-packages are used such as H2O automatic machine learning, lime, clustering and basic explorative statistics. The sources of metadata are the blog itself, Google Analytics and the SEO-Tool Ahrefs.

Getting started simulating data in R: some helpful functions and how to use them
Date: 2018-08-28 at 18:00
Location: Eugene, United States
Description Snippet:
Knowing how to simulate data in R has been incredibly useful to me in my day-to-day work. Simulating data is useful not only for exploring the long-run behavior of a statistic but also allows you to make small datasets for working out hard data manipulation tasks or for testing your intuition about a mathematical relationship or statistical model. But how does a person get started with simulations? In this talk I will go over some of the functions R has available to help with simulating data. I'll discuss functions for random number generation, replicating elements of a vector, and repeated data generation. We'll go in depth on how to use these functions and then practice creating datasets of different shapes and sizes.

Cancer Mutations Scores & Reactivity in Shiny Apps
Date: 2018-08-28 at 18:30
Location: Irvine, United States
Description Snippet:
Talk 1: Classification and Statistical Analysis of Cancer Mutations Scores
By: Yemi Odeyemi (Ph.D. Candidate in Data Science at Chapman University)
The talk will describe part of Yemi's doctoral work on building a statistical and predictive model to classify driver-passenger mutations. A Logit model is used with 10-fold cross-validation. The data was preprocessed to impute missing values using the rule-of-thumb approach, removal of redundant features and feature scaling. Feature selection was determined using a stepwise approach based on AIC. The objective was to determine the optimal class boundary for the probability for discretization. The models were evaluated with Receiver Operator Characteristics - Area under the curve (ROC-AUC) which is based on sensitivity and specificity.
Talk 2: How Reactivity Works in Shiny Apps
By: Tuck Nugn (Senior Data Scientist at Oracle)
Reactivity is not a common programming paradigm but is an important part of the Shiny ... read more at the event page.
