This is the Orange County R Users Group (OCRUG) Meetup Group.

  • We'll explore and discuss R and how it's being used in data analysis, visualization, data mining, predictive analytics, and beyond.
  • People of all levels are welcome to attend, from those just getting started with R and predictive modeling to experts using R everyday.
  • Join our slack channel. We are there to help each other.
  • We maintain a github account. It has some useful code and a copy of presentations.
  • We hold nearly monthly meetings. Join our meet-up group so that you get notices about upcoming meetings and events.
