Shiny is an R package that enables the creation of interactive websites for data visualization. This session provides a brief overview of the Shiny framework and how to edit and publish Shiny sites in RStudio (with shinyapps.io). Familiarity with R/RStudio is assumed.
This workshop is tailored for beginners in machine learning. It focuses on supervised learning algorithms that are a cornerstone of machine learning, where the algorithm learns from labeled training data, helping to predict outcomes for unforeseen data. Classification and Regression will be introduced. Participants will learn about key algorithms like Linear Regression and Decision Trees, … Read More
Maintenance is usually scheduled for weekdays because it often involves coordination with university facilities teams or external vendors. There may also be times when Amarel must be unavailable due to externally-scheduled data center facilities, power, or telecommunications maintenance. When this happens, we will do our best to avoid adding to a month’s downtime with our … Read More
