"R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics" - The R Project This group is designed for novice to expert R users to share tips, ideas, and experiences.  Meetings will be designed to learn and challenge.  A typical meetup will consist of brief socializing and a presentation.  Added entertainment may consist of members discussing uncommon (but effective) uses for R, fun applications they've created, various competitions, etc. Speakers and sponsors are welcome.
