Welcome to RPIrates: The RPI R Users Group! We are a growing community --- over 300 email subscribers! --- of students, faculty and staff at Rensselaer who gather virtually and in person to support each others' use of the R open source analytics platform. In semi-weekly meetings we explore topics of interest, share our "feats of strength," and of course "air grievances!"
During the Fall and Spring semester we have monthly in-person RPIrates meetings, usually the first Weds evening of the month in AE217; certain meetings may also be shared via Webex or. We also have an RPIrates email list through which we share information and ask questions: rpi-r-users@cs.lists.rpi.edu
Fall 2024 Schedule: During the Fall 2024 term we will be holding monthly RPIrates meetings at 6p in AE217, with pizza, salad and other goodies!
