Hi everyone Instats is offering a new 1-day seminar Python for R Users, running Nov 13 with professor Rebecca Barter from the Division of Epidemiology at the University of Utah School of Medicine. For researchers who are familiar with R, especially within the tidyverse ecosystem, transitioning to Python offers significant advantages, particularly for working with big data and machine learning or deep learning methods. Python's versatility and broad applicability in the field of Evolutionary Biology make it a crucial tool for complex data analysis and model building. To facilitate this, the seminar is designed to help PhD students, academics, and professional researchers leverage their existing R knowledge to quickly gain proficiency in Python, focusing on translating concepts and techniques familiar in R to the Python environment. Participants will gain a robust understanding of Python's libraries and data structures, enabling them to integrate Python into their research workflows efficiently and expand their analytical capabilities, including with Python's substantial toolkits for machine learning and deep learning such as Scikit-learn and Keras (for machine learning and deep learning). https://instats.org/seminar/python-for-r-users2 Sign up today and don't miss out on this unique opportunity to easily transition from R to Python!
