March 7, 2014 – Graham Williams, Data Scientist at the Australian Taxation Office and Adjunct Professor at the Australian National University, led a workshop titled, “Excavating Knowledge from Data: Introducing Data Mining Using R.” Dr. Williams is the author of the Rattle software for data mining and of the Rattle book, Data Mining with Rattle and R: The Art of Excavating Knowledge from Data. 

During the workshop, Dr. Williams shared insight about the many uses of data mining. He provided live tutorials of how to prepare data and run models using R and, more specifically, Rattle. This workshop is a great introduction on data mining for anybody interested in learning R coding.

We ask if you find the workshop or the handouts useful to your work that you properly cite his recording or materials, which he has graciously allowed us to share on our website.
