Hi all. A friend of mine asked me to assist with an R presentation to the Penn State LUG in a few weeks. The audience will be predominately computer scientists and/or engineers (I suspect) and they are just looking for presentations of good open source software and my friend volunteered R. We are both relatively new to R, so I thought it would be best to ask the list for your opinion....what do the expert R-users think would be most appropriate for a presentation to non-statistical people? I see a lot of postings from people in other disciplines and I would love to hear what you have to say as well. By the way, I am aware of the demo() function in R and I am absolutely amazed by that, but not everybody in this audience will think the Brownian motion plot is as cool as I do!

R-demo for non-statisticians/mathematicians
2 messages · Ryan Elmore, Ko-Kang Kevin Wang
Hi Ryan, What a co-incidence! I've just done a demo for my fellow club members, who are, generally, non-statisticians! What I had done is to show them a PowerPoint demonstration, with some R-history, what it is capable of, why we should use it, a couple of snap shots, some students' comments, its memory management technique...etc. After that I showed a real-time demo using R, to run a couple of R scripts that I obtained from various places (and some of them were written by myself). The scripts I used include the demo(graphics), however with some little re-arrangements. The entire slides can be obtained from http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~kwan022/pub/SDK/SAD/FirstMeeting/, along with all the scripts I used! Hope this helps you in some degree, Cheers, Ko-Kang Wang ------------------------------------------------- Ko-Kang Kevin Wang Statistical Analysis Division Leader Software Developers' Klub University of Auckland New Zealand ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Elmore" <elmore at stat.psu.edu> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 2:27 AM Subject: [R] R-demo for non-statisticians/mathematicians
