Linear Algebra Using Armadillo via armadillo4r workshop | R bloggers

Join our workshop on Linear Algebra using Armadillo via armadillo4r, which is part of our Workshops for Ukraine series!

Here’s some more information:

Title: Linear Algebra Using Armadillo via armadillo4r

Date: Thursday, November 6, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris time zone)

Speaker: Mauricio ‘Pachá’ Vargas Sepúlveda holds a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Toronto, a Master of Science in Statistics from the Catholic University of Chile, and an engineering degree from the University of Chile. He is now doing a PhD in economics at the University of Surrey.

Description: This workshop consists of a quick review of linear algebra that we will use to write a naive Ordinary Least Squares estimation function to find the best line to describe the relationship between two continuous variables X and Y. The goal is for participants to be able to write their own R package with C++ code using armadillo4r. We’ll cover the essentials of R package design and linear algebra using the Armadillo C++ library.

Minimum registration fee: 20 euros (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)
