The annual conference on the use of R in official statistics will take place on the premises of Statistics Netherlands September 12-14. We are excited to announce an unconference use of R in official statistics on the two days just before the uRos conference.
The idea behind the event (similar to http://unconf17.ropensci.org/ for R in general) to bring together useRs from the area of official statistics to work for two days on concrete projects where enhancements would benefit many institutes, organisation,... .
Similar to the idea of the awesome official statistics software list, this should complement an abstract top-down approach such as the common statistical production architecture with fast bottom-up solutions.
The results of unconfUROS will be presented during the ensuing uRos2018 conference.
- A shiny app for data validation and rule management
- A categorical variable that satisfies needs of NSI's
- A shiny app that visualizes an interactive price kaleidoscope
- A wrapper for the Dutch (reverse) geocoding service Locatieserver hosted by PDOK
- Machine learning techniques for imputation (boosting, deep learning, ....)
- Sampling package that covers the need of NSIs
- A shiny app for statistical disclosure control of tabular data (using sdcTable)
As of 13 August 2018, the unconf hackathon is at its maximum capacity, so no new applications are accepted.
