An R Users Guide to JSM 2019
This article is originally published at https://rviews.rstudio.com/
If you are like me, and rather last minute about making a plan to get the most out of a large conference, you are just starting to think about JSM 2019 which will begin in just a few days. My plans always begin with an attempt to sleuth out the R-related sessions. While in the past it took quite a bit of work to identify talks that were likely backed by R-based calculations, this is clearly no longer the case. In fact, because Stanford Professor Trevor Hastie will be delivering the prestigious Wald Lectures this year, R-backed work will be front and center.
Professor Hastie has made numerous, important contributions to statistical learning, machine learning, data science and statistical computing. Among the latter, is the glmnet package he co-authored with Jerome Friedman, Rob Tibshirani, Noah Simon, Balasubramanian Narasimhan and Junyang Qian which has become a fundamental resource.
The Wald Lectures will be delivered over three days in room CC Four Seasons 1 according to the following schedule:
* Lecture 1: Mon, 7/29/2019, 10:30 AM - 12:20 PM
* Lecture 2: Tue, 7/30/2019, 2:00 PM - 3:50 PM
* Lecture 3: Wed, 7/31/2019, 10:30 AM - 12:20 PM
If you want to do some preparation for the lectures, you might have a look at the book Statistical Learnig with Sparsity; The Lasso and Generalizations by Hastie, Tibshirani and Wainwright.
The rest of this post lists some R-related talks that can help you fill your days at JSM! I am sure my list is not complete. Please feel free to add anything I may have missed to the comments section following this post.

Supplementary Code
In case you are wondering how I produced the plot above, here is the code which uses the cranly and dlstats packages to investigate CRAN.
library(tidyverse)
library(cranly)
library(dlstats)
# Get clean copy of CRAN
p_db <- tools::CRAN_package_db()
package_db <- clean_CRAN_db(p_db)
# Build package network
package_network <- build_network(package_db)
# Find Hastie packages
pkgs <- package_by(package_network, "Trevor Hastie")
# Find most downloaded Hastie packages
dstats <- cran_stats(pkgs)
topdown <- group_by(dstats,package) %>%
summarize(n=sum(downloads)) %>%
arrange(desc(n)) %>% filter(n > 100000)
# Plot the monthly downloads for Hastie's top 5 packages
shortlist <- select(topdown,package) %>% slice(1:5)
toppkgs <- cran_stats(as.vector(shortlist$package))
ggplot(toppkgs, aes(end, downloads, group=package, color=package)) +
geom_line() + geom_point(aes(shape=package)) + xlab("Monthly Downloads") + ggtitle("Trevor Hastie Packages")Thanks for visiting r-craft.org
