The webinars were led by two experts in the field, Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development and Analytics at Swiss Re, and Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting at Swiss Re.\nThese sessions offered a hands-on exploration of the transition from Excel to basic R, highlighting the benefits of working with R and one possible way to straddle across Excel and R. The subsequent webinars then moved to production-level R, and ultimately to high-performance R applications.\nThe webinars were tailored to be accessible to all, requiring no previous experience with the R programming language or specialized knowledge in insurance or actuarial science. Anyone with basic spreadsheet experience or who is considering applying for a bank loan has the necessary background to benefit from these webinars.\n\nFrom Excel to Programming in R\nSpeaker: Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development & Analytics, Group Risk Management, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nThis video provided an in-depth exploration into the enduring relevance of Excel in the workplace while also emphasizing the benefits of learning to code for increased flexibility and resilience. It highlighted the common working patterns shared between Excel and R, demonstrating how transitioning from traditional spreadsheet computing to best-practice programming can be highly beneficial.\nThe webinar featured a straightforward, specific example from the insurance industry to illustrate the advantages of using the R programming language. It also presented a practical approach for integrating the thought processes and methodologies of both Excel and R, showcasing how professionals can effectively straddle these two powerful tools in their work.\n\n\n\n\nFrom programming in R to putting R into production\nSpeaker: Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development & Analytics, Group Risk Management, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nWe could solve problems using coding, but how could we help others solve the same problem in the future? Sharing data and solutions was critical for real-world insurance professionals and actuarial scientists.\nContinuing the example from the first webinar, Georgios illustrated ways to document and test the solution and made it available to others using R’s frameworks for packaging, Web API creation, and graphical user interface generation (Shiny).\n\n\n\n\nR performance culture\nSpeaker: Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nPremature optimization was the root of all evil. But there were occasions when we needed to improve the performance of critical code. Benedikt covered how performance fit into R’s design, what tools were available to tune it, and examples of what other aspects should be considered beyond pure runtime.\n\n\n\n\nHigh performance programming in R\nSpeaker: Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nIn this webinar, Benedikt discussed how comma-separated values (CSV) files were commonly used when working with data files, as they were easy to read for humans and supported by tools like Excel or R. However, these files had a downside in terms of performance and file size. To address this, the industry developed binary formats that were more efficient. Benedikt focused on the Arrow R package and the Parquet file format and how they could help save time and disk space." }, { - "objectID": "webinars/from-vision-to-action-the-pfizer-r-center-of-excellence.html#speaker", - "href": "webinars/from-vision-to-action-the-pfizer-r-center-of-excellence.html#speaker", - "title": "From Vision to Action: The R Pfizer R Center of Excellence-led Journey to R Adoption", - "section": "Speaker", - "text": "Speaker\n\n\nNatalia Andriychuk is a Statistical Data Scientist in the R Center of Excellence SWAT (Scientific Workflows and Analytic Tools) team at Pfizer.

The R Consortium’s explicit mission is to “advance the worldwide promotion of and support for the R open source language”, and all of its activities are in support of the Open Source R Project. It will support and promote the use of Open Source R in all contents, including in commercial and business settings.\nAs defined in its charter (PDF), the projects of the Infrastructure Steering Committee will focus on support of the user base, support of developers, and general advancement of Open Source R. In particular, a commercial fork of R isn’t compatible with that mission, and won’t be a project of the R Consortium.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nDo I have to be an employee of a member of the R Consortium to contribute to infrastructure projects?\nNo. The R Consortium welcomes contributions of time, effort and ideas for all passionate users and developers of the R language.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWas the R community consulted about the projects considered by the R Consortium?\nYes. R Consortium projects are proposed by the community to the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat kinds of projects will the R Consortium undertake?\nThe R Consortium will coordinate and support projects that directly benefit stakeholders within the R user community. Here are some examples of the types of projects the R Consortium might undertake\n\nImproving documentation and tools.\nSponsoring and helping execute conferences and events.\nHelping to scale and build out R infrastructure.\nMaintaining an enhanced website focused on the R user community.\n\nThis is not an exhaustive list. Anyone may propose a project to the Infrastructure Steering Committee, which selects and executes projects.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nHow are R Consortium projects selected and managed?\nThe technical projects undertaken by the R Consortium in support of the R Project and the R Community are overseen by the Infrastructure Steering Committee. The charter of the Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) describes its mission, which is to advance the worldwide promotion of and support for R, and to develop projects, technical and infrastructure collaboration initiatives, support specific initiatives related to R. The membership of the ISC is drawn from the Platinum Members, Silver Members and the R Foundation. As the ISC appoints top-level projects, it is expected that those project leads will join the ISC as voting members.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nAre the leaders of the R Consortium R users?\nThe Board Members (including the Chairperson) are appointed or elected by members (depending on the membership class). There is always one board member representing the R Foundation, to provide guidance to the R Consortium in its mission to support the R Project. The remaining Board members are drawn from the membership, and represent the organizations that have joined the R Consortium. All of the current board members have extensive R experience.\nThe members of the Infrastructure Steering Committee are appointed by the Platinum Members, Silver Members, and the R Foundation member, and includes representatives with significant technical experience, including R package developers, community leaders, and the individuals from the R Core Group.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan I review the governance documents for the R Consortium?\nYes! You can review the by-laws for the R Consortium, Inc. (PDF)and the charter for the Infrastructure Steering Committee (PDF).\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nHow is the R Consortium governed?\nThe R Consortium is governed by the R Consortium Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives determined by its members. (Members of the board are elected or appointed depending on membership levels; for details please see the by-laws.) The Board meets regularly to manage the business of the Consortium. Meetings are led by the Chairperson of the R Consortium, a rotating position held by a board member elected by the Board as a whole.\nThe technical projects undertaken by the R Consortium in support of the R Project and the R Community are overseen by the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nAre membership dues tax-deductible?\nThe R Consortium is a US-based 501(c)6 non-profit organization. Dues are not tax-deductible as charitable donations by individuals, but under US IRS rules (PDF) may be deductible as trade or business expenses.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan an individual become a member of the R Consortium?\nYes, individuals may support the R Consortium by joining as a non-voting associate member. You can also support the R project by contributing to the R Foundation directly.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhy the focus on organizations rather than individuals?\nHundreds of companies around the world have invested heavily in R, by building systems on the R platform and by hiring thousands of R developers. The R Consortium provides a means for those companies to invest in the R Project directly, to collaborate on projects of mutual interest to support the R Community as a whole, and to support the ongoing success of the R Project.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the relationship between the R Consortium and the Linux Foundation?\nThe R Consortium is an independent organization, but as Collaborative Project of the Linux Foundation, the Linux Foundation provides operational support and guidance.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the relationship between the R Consortium and the R Foundation?\nThe R Foundation is the leader of the R Project and the custodian of the R source code and copyright. The R Foundation determines the definition and evolution of the R language.\nThe R Consortium, as an independent entity, exists to support the R Community and the R Project as a whole — and that includes providing support to the R Foundation. That’s why the R Foundation has a guaranteed seat on the Board and the Infrastructure Steering Committee, to represent the interests of the R Foundation and to propose projects to support R itself.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWho are the members of the R Consortium?\nMembers of the R Consortium include the following types of organizations (PDF): any association, partnership, organization, governmental agency, company, corporation, academic entity, or non-profit entity with an interest in supporting R. (Individuals may also join as associate members.) In addition, the R Foundation is automatically a member and always has a seat on the Board and the Infrastructure Steering Committee. You can see a current list of members here.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhy an R Consortium?\nThe R user community has experienced tremendous growth. With growth there is a greater need for cooperation and communication among R users and R stakeholders. R will continually benefit from improvements to its technical tools and resources. The mission of the R Consortium is to help with support and coordination of the important activities of the R Community, via projects selected and executed its Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nDo I have to be an employee of a member of the R Consortium to contribute to infrastructure projects?\nNo! The R Consortium welcomes contributions of time, effort and ideas for all passionate users and developers of the R language. After formal meetings of the Infrastructure Steering Committee have begun (which we anticipate will occur soon), we will distribute information on how project ideas can be submitted to the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan I review the governance documents for the R Consortium?\nYes! You can find copies of the by-laws (PDF) for the R Consortium, Inc. and the charter for the infrastructure steering committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat wouldn’t the R Consortium do?\nInterfere with the R language itself and its development.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat kinds of projects will the R Consortium undertake?\nThe R Consortium will coordinate and support projects that directly benefit stakeholders within the R user community, for example:\n\nImproving documentation and tools.\nSponsoring and helping execute conferences and events.\nHelping to scale and build out R infrastructure.\nMaintaining an enhanced website focused on the R user community.\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWho is involved?\nR users and stakeholders as members of the consortium in addition to representatives from the R Foundation with operational support provided by The Linux Foundation.\n\nBack to Top" + "objectID": "about/governance.html#infrastructure-steering-committee", + "href": "about/governance.html#infrastructure-steering-committee", + "title": "Governance", + "section": "Infrastructure Steering Committee", + "text": "Infrastructure Steering Committee\n\nAn Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) is responsible for the identification, selection, and oversight of infrastructure projects, as well as directing best practices and community leadership within the R community.

During the second grant cycle of 2023, the ISC funded the following seven projects with a total of $80,000:\n\nTranslating R to Nepali\nTooling for internationalization of R help pages\nRStats Mastodon Server\nTaking r-universe to the next level\nCausal Inference in a Box\nR Kafka Client\nAccessibility Enhancements for the R Journal\n\nThe first grant cycle for 2024 has recently closed, and the ISC is evaluating ten proposals which are collectively requesting more than $200,000. These proposals include translating a Public Health Model into R, adapting R-universe technology for deploying R packages, and upgrading or extending several key R packages. The ISC expects to notify the teams submitting successful proposals by May 1, 2024.\n\n\n\nIn this section, we will highlight the progress of selected R Consortium working groups. This month we look at the R Submissions working group and the Risk Assessment workstream of the R Validation hub, which have recently achieved significant milestones.\n\n\nWith the active participation of the FDA, the R Consortium R Submissions working group is developing a series of Pilot or test submissions to uncover the challenges that must be overcome in making “all R” regulatory submissions straightforward, routine, and reproducible over a minimum six-year time horizon. Each Pilot submission builds on the previous pilot and includes additional steps. The objective of Pilot 3 is to extend the work done in the Pilot 2 study, which included wrapping a Shiny application into the submissions package, to build the AdaM data set from raw data. For each submission effort, the FDA review team recreates the study from the submission package, evaluates the correctness and reproducibility of the results, and documents discrepancies from previous pilot submission packages that they may observe.\nIn the most recent Pilot 3 submission, the FDA observed a discrepancy that was due to a difference in the coding of an imputation algorithm. The Pilot 3 statisticians used a subsetting algorithm that differed from the algorithm selected by the CDISC statisticians who built the ADaM data set used in Pilot 1 and Pilot 2. This was not a statistical error, but a failure to provide documentation at a sufficient level of detail for the FDA reviewers to make the appropriate adjustment. The episode illustrates the attention to detail required to achieve a smooth handoff to the FDA.\nAs the Pilot 3 team prepares their final submission, the Pilot 4 team is nearly ready with a submission package that will include the code required to unpack the package and have it deploy within a WebAssembly browser instance.\nFor more information on the R submission working group please visit their website." + "text": "Effective Date: September 20, 2018\nThe R Consortium, Inc. (“R Consortium”) is a group organized under an open source governance and foundation model to support the worldwide community of users, maintainers and developers of R software.

Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.\nYou should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your passwords, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing robust passwords that nobody else knows or can easily guess, not using a password for more than one site or service, and keeping your log-ins and passwords private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.

During the second grant cycle of 2023, the ISC funded the following seven projects with a total of $80,000:\n\nTranslating R to Nepali\nTooling for internationalization of R help pages\nRStats Mastodon Server\nTaking r-universe to the next level\nCausal Inference in a Box\nR Kafka Client\nAccessibility Enhancements for the R Journal\n\nThe first grant cycle for 2024 has recently closed, and the ISC is evaluating ten proposals which are collectively requesting more than $200,000. These proposals include translating a Public Health Model into R, adapting R-universe technology for deploying R packages, and upgrading or extending several key R packages. The ISC expects to notify the teams submitting successful proposals by May 1, 2024.\n\n\n\nIn this section, we will highlight the progress of selected R Consortium working groups. This month we look at the R Submissions working group and the Risk Assessment workstream of the R Validation hub, which have recently achieved significant milestones.\n\n\nWith the active participation of the FDA, the R Consortium R Submissions working group is developing a series of Pilot or test submissions to uncover the challenges that must be overcome in making “all R” regulatory submissions straightforward, routine, and reproducible over a minimum six-year time horizon. Each Pilot submission builds on the previous pilot and includes additional steps. The objective of Pilot 3 is to extend the work done in the Pilot 2 study, which included wrapping a Shiny application into the submissions package, to build the AdaM data set from raw data. For each submission effort, the FDA review team recreates the study from the submission package, evaluates the correctness and reproducibility of the results, and documents discrepancies from previous pilot submission packages that they may observe.\nIn the most recent Pilot 3 submission, the FDA observed a discrepancy that was due to a difference in the coding of an imputation algorithm.

During the second grant cycle of 2023, the ISC funded the following seven projects with a total of $80,000:\n\nTranslating R to Nepali\nTooling for internationalization of R help pages\nRStats Mastodon Server\nTaking r-universe to the next level\nCausal Inference in a Box\nR Kafka Client\nAccessibility Enhancements for the R Journal\n\nThe first grant cycle for 2024 has recently closed, and the ISC is evaluating ten proposals which are collectively requesting more than $200,000. These proposals include translating a Public Health Model into R, adapting R-universe technology for deploying R packages, and upgrading or extending several key R packages. The ISC expects to notify the teams submitting successful proposals by May 1, 2024.\n\n\n\nIn this section, we will highlight the progress of selected R Consortium working groups. This month we look at the R Submissions working group and the Risk Assessment workstream of the R Validation hub, which have recently achieved significant milestones.\n\n\nWith the active participation of the FDA, the R Consortium R Submissions working group is developing a series of Pilot or test submissions to uncover the challenges that must be overcome in making “all R” regulatory submissions straightforward, routine, and reproducible over a minimum six-year time horizon. Each Pilot submission builds on the previous pilot and includes additional steps. The objective of Pilot 3 is to extend the work done in the Pilot 2 study, which included wrapping a Shiny application into the submissions package, to build the AdaM data set from raw data. For each submission effort, the FDA review team recreates the study from the submission package, evaluates the correctness and reproducibility of the results, and documents discrepancies from previous pilot submission packages that they may observe.\nIn the most recent Pilot 3 submission, the FDA observed a discrepancy that was due to a difference in the coding of an imputation algorithm. The Pilot 3 statisticians used a subsetting algorithm that differed from the algorithm selected by the CDISC statisticians who built the ADaM data set used in Pilot 1 and Pilot 2. This was not a statistical error, but a failure to provide documentation at a sufficient level of detail for the FDA reviewers to make the appropriate adjustment. The episode illustrates the attention to detail required to achieve a smooth handoff to the FDA.\nAs the Pilot 3 team prepares their final submission, the Pilot 4 team is nearly ready with a submission package that will include the code required to unpack the package and have it deploy within a WebAssembly browser instance.\nFor more information on the R submission working group please visit their website." }, { - "objectID": "about/thank-you.html", - "href": "about/thank-you.html", - "title": "Contributors to this Website", - "section": "", - "text": "The R language is open source and is supported worldwide by people who are enthusiastic to learn and improve.

The R Consortium’s explicit mission is to “advance the worldwide promotion of and support for the R open source language”, and all of its activities are in support of the Open Source R Project. It will support and promote the use of Open Source R in all contents, including in commercial and business settings.\nAs defined in its charter (PDF), the projects of the Infrastructure Steering Committee will focus on support of the user base, support of developers, and general advancement of Open Source R. In particular, a commercial fork of R isn’t compatible with that mission, and won’t be a project of the R Consortium.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nDo I have to be an employee of a member of the R Consortium to contribute to infrastructure projects?\nNo. The R Consortium welcomes contributions of time, effort and ideas for all passionate users and developers of the R language.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWas the R community consulted about the projects considered by the R Consortium?\nYes. R Consortium projects are proposed by the community to the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat kinds of projects will the R Consortium undertake?\nThe R Consortium will coordinate and support projects that directly benefit stakeholders within the R user community. Here are some examples of the types of projects the R Consortium might undertake\n\nImproving documentation and tools.\nSponsoring and helping execute conferences and events.\nHelping to scale and build out R infrastructure.\nMaintaining an enhanced website focused on the R user community.\n\nThis is not an exhaustive list. Anyone may propose a project to the Infrastructure Steering Committee, which selects and executes projects.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nHow are R Consortium projects selected and managed?\nThe technical projects undertaken by the R Consortium in support of the R Project and the R Community are overseen by the Infrastructure Steering Committee. The charter of the Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) describes its mission, which is to advance the worldwide promotion of and support for R, and to develop projects, technical and infrastructure collaboration initiatives, support specific initiatives related to R. The membership of the ISC is drawn from the Platinum Members, Silver Members and the R Foundation. As the ISC appoints top-level projects, it is expected that those project leads will join the ISC as voting members.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nAre the leaders of the R Consortium R users?\nThe Board Members (including the Chairperson) are appointed or elected by members (depending on the membership class). There is always one board member representing the R Foundation, to provide guidance to the R Consortium in its mission to support the R Project. The remaining Board members are drawn from the membership, and represent the organizations that have joined the R Consortium. All of the current board members have extensive R experience.\nThe members of the Infrastructure Steering Committee are appointed by the Platinum Members, Silver Members, and the R Foundation member, and includes representatives with significant technical experience, including R package developers, community leaders, and the individuals from the R Core Group.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan I review the governance documents for the R Consortium?\nYes! You can review the by-laws for the R Consortium, Inc. (PDF)and the charter for the Infrastructure Steering Committee (PDF).\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nHow is the R Consortium governed?\nThe R Consortium is governed by the R Consortium Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives determined by its members. (Members of the board are elected or appointed depending on membership levels; for details please see the by-laws.) The Board meets regularly to manage the business of the Consortium. Meetings are led by the Chairperson of the R Consortium, a rotating position held by a board member elected by the Board as a whole.\nThe technical projects undertaken by the R Consortium in support of the R Project and the R Community are overseen by the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nAre membership dues tax-deductible?\nThe R Consortium is a US-based 501(c)6 non-profit organization. Dues are not tax-deductible as charitable donations by individuals, but under US IRS rules (PDF) may be deductible as trade or business expenses.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan an individual become a member of the R Consortium?\nYes, individuals may support the R Consortium by joining as a non-voting associate member. You can also support the R project by contributing to the R Foundation directly.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhy the focus on organizations rather than individuals?\nHundreds of companies around the world have invested heavily in R, by building systems on the R platform and by hiring thousands of R developers. The R Consortium provides a means for those companies to invest in the R Project directly, to collaborate on projects of mutual interest to support the R Community as a whole, and to support the ongoing success of the R Project.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the relationship between the R Consortium and the Linux Foundation?\nThe R Consortium is an independent organization, but as Collaborative Project of the Linux Foundation, the Linux Foundation provides operational support and guidance.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the relationship between the R Consortium and the R Foundation?\nThe R Foundation is the leader of the R Project and the custodian of the R source code and copyright. The R Foundation determines the definition and evolution of the R language.\nThe R Consortium, as an independent entity, exists to support the R Community and the R Project as a whole — and that includes providing support to the R Foundation. That’s why the R Foundation has a guaranteed seat on the Board and the Infrastructure Steering Committee, to represent the interests of the R Foundation and to propose projects to support R itself.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWho are the members of the R Consortium?\nMembers of the R Consortium include the following types of organizations (PDF): any association, partnership, organization, governmental agency, company, corporation, academic entity, or non-profit entity with an interest in supporting R. (Individuals may also join as associate members.) In addition, the R Foundation is automatically a member and always has a seat on the Board and the Infrastructure Steering Committee. You can see a current list of members here.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhy an R Consortium?\nThe R user community has experienced tremendous growth. With growth there is a greater need for cooperation and communication among R users and R stakeholders. R will continually benefit from improvements to its technical tools and resources. The mission of the R Consortium is to help with support and coordination of the important activities of the R Community, via projects selected and executed its Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nDo I have to be an employee of a member of the R Consortium to contribute to infrastructure projects?\nNo! The R Consortium welcomes contributions of time, effort and ideas for all passionate users and developers of the R language. After formal meetings of the Infrastructure Steering Committee have begun (which we anticipate will occur soon), we will distribute information on how project ideas can be submitted to the Infrastructure Steering Committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nCan I review the governance documents for the R Consortium?\nYes! You can find copies of the by-laws (PDF) for the R Consortium, Inc. and the charter for the infrastructure steering committee.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat wouldn’t the R Consortium do?\nInterfere with the R language itself and its development.\n\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWhat kinds of projects will the R Consortium undertake?\nThe R Consortium will coordinate and support projects that directly benefit stakeholders within the R user community, for example:\n\nImproving documentation and tools.\nSponsoring and helping execute conferences and events.\nHelping to scale and build out R infrastructure.\nMaintaining an enhanced website focused on the R user community.\nBack to Top\n\n\n\n\nWho is involved?\nR users and stakeholders as members of the consortium in addition to representatives from the R Foundation with operational support provided by The Linux Foundation.\n\nBack to Top" }, { - "objectID": "about/governance.html#infrastructure-steering-committee", - "href": "about/governance.html#infrastructure-steering-committee", - "title": "Governance", - "section": "Infrastructure Steering Committee", - "text": "Infrastructure Steering Committee\n\nAn Infrastructure Steering Committee (ISC) is responsible for the identification, selection, and oversight of infrastructure projects, as well as directing best practices and community leadership within the R community.

The webinars were led by two experts in the field, Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development and Analytics at Swiss Re, and Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting at Swiss Re.\nThese sessions offered a hands-on exploration of the transition from Excel to basic R, highlighting the benefits of working with R and one possible way to straddle across Excel and R. The subsequent webinars then moved to production-level R, and ultimately to high-performance R applications.\nThe webinars were tailored to be accessible to all, requiring no previous experience with the R programming language or specialized knowledge in insurance or actuarial science. Anyone with basic spreadsheet experience or who is considering applying for a bank loan has the necessary background to benefit from these webinars.\n\nFrom Excel to Programming in R\nSpeaker: Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development & Analytics, Group Risk Management, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nThis video provided an in-depth exploration into the enduring relevance of Excel in the workplace while also emphasizing the benefits of learning to code for increased flexibility and resilience. It highlighted the common working patterns shared between Excel and R, demonstrating how transitioning from traditional spreadsheet computing to best-practice programming can be highly beneficial.\nThe webinar featured a straightforward, specific example from the insurance industry to illustrate the advantages of using the R programming language. It also presented a practical approach for integrating the thought processes and methodologies of both Excel and R, showcasing how professionals can effectively straddle these two powerful tools in their work.\n\n\n\n\nFrom programming in R to putting R into production\nSpeaker: Georgios Bakoloukas, Head Model Development & Analytics, Group Risk Management, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nWe could solve problems using coding, but how could we help others solve the same problem in the future? Sharing data and solutions was critical for real-world insurance professionals and actuarial scientists.\nContinuing the example from the first webinar, Georgios illustrated ways to document and test the solution and made it available to others using R’s frameworks for packaging, Web API creation, and graphical user interface generation (Shiny).\n\n\n\n\nR performance culture\nSpeaker: Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nPremature optimization was the root of all evil. But there were occasions when we needed to improve the performance of critical code. Benedikt covered how performance fit into R’s design, what tools were available to tune it, and examples of what other aspects should be considered beyond pure runtime.\n\n\n\n\nHigh performance programming in R\nSpeaker: Benedikt Schamberger, Head Atelier Technology & AI Consulting, Swiss Re\n\n\nQuick summary:\nIn this webinar, Benedikt discussed how comma-separated values (CSV) files were commonly used when working with data files, as they were easy to read for humans and supported by tools like Excel or R. However, these files had a downside in terms of performance and file size. To address this, the industry developed binary formats that were more efficient. Benedikt focused on the Arrow R package and the Parquet file format and how they could help save time and disk space." + "text": "Summary\nThe webinar by the R consortium titled “From Vision to Action: The R Pfizer R Center of Excellence-led Journey to R Adoption” was not just a case study of Pfizer’s journey.

Abstract

+

Containerization has become a dominant computing paradigm for computing in the past decade due to its many advantages: isolation and security, scalability and efficiency with lightweight containers sharing an operating kernel and resources, and portability across cloud computing providers. For the researcher, analyst, or R user, containers have applications ranging from reproducible analytical environments to packaging statistical code to use in web applications. I will discuss how biomedical researchers can make use of containerization technology, particularly the tools provided by the Rocker Project, which publishes powerful standardized containers for the R language.
