I was studying the R language as part of a one-year scholarship program when I was cut off. I got the impression that R language data scientists take a very different approach to data analysis than the more traditional methods I have studied in the past. Today, I was watching a Continuing Education video that my wife was watching as part of the required CE for her Pharmacy Technician license. The presenters were using Microsoft Excel for some data-cleaning that I think R would have been much better at. Have you at the ACM considered offering some presentations using R?
