Many of these packages I don't use very much but would like to learn, maybe giving a presentation would be a good push to try them out? Of course many of you are likely tobe experienced with some of these and likely more equipped to present it if you'd like to. While you're welcome to come up with your own topics for your presentations, I think it would be good to plan some in advance so people know what they're coming to, especially if we're eventually reaching out into the wider research community.\r\n\r\nTopics I could do:\r\nData handling in R: data.table, bigmem, data-wrangling (reshape, tidyr, custom codes)\r\nStatistics in R: linear models (although many others here could do a better job)\r\nInstalling and managing packages in R (CRAN, Bioconductor, GitHub, SourceForge)\r\nMathematica / Wolfram Alpha\r\n\r\nTopics I would like to see:\r\nR: ggplot(2), dplyr, and other Hadleyverse packages\r\nR projects (with Git/Github)\r\nLaTeX intro/recap (Authorea?)\r\nUsing with databases with R\r\nUsing Unix tools to manipulate files (awk, sed, grep, cat, head, tail, etc...)\r\nGetting help: using Linux/R forums effectively\r\nHandling sequence data\r\n\r\nTopics I'd recommend for new(ish) students:\r\nAccessing Servers in the terminal: ssh (alias, keys), scp, rsync - backups and running code\r\nHPC in R or Python (local parallel, departmental servers, or NeSI)\r\nNeSI: submitting and managing jobs with slurm\n\n_Copied from original issue: smilefreak/studyGroup#7_"}}
