EdinbR January 2021 - partially ordered sets and reactivity in Shiny apps
Channel: EdinbR
Date: 28/01/2021

Welcome back for the 2021 Edinbr lineup! To kick off the year, we've got talks from Alberto Arcagni and Jonathan Sidi!

Alberto Arcagni is an assistant professor in statistics at the Sapienza University of Rome. His research topics concern income inequality, wellbeing, networks and partially ordered sets. He developed the R packages sBF, ineqJD and parsec. His talk covers the “parsec” package, which defines partially ordered sets (posets) and their application on the evaluation of multidimensional systems of ordinal indicators.


Jonathan Sidi Jonathan Sidi started using R close to 15 years ago, while a research student at the Bank of Israel. Currently, he is the Associate Director of Modeling and Simulation in a pharmaceutical company using R every day to model central nervous system diseases. His talk introduces the "reactor" package for Shiny, which aims to diagnose reactivity problems and then plan unit tests to avert them during Shiny app development, making it a less painful and more robust experience


Enjoy!
