[R] Any demand for a useR 2011 tutorial on Emacs Speaks Statistics?
Dear all, I'm thinking of organising a tutorial on Emacs Speaks Statistics (ESS) for next year's useR meeting. http://www.warwick.ac.uk/statsdept/useR-2011/ Tony (Rossini) organised one a few years ago which covered the following topics: \begin{enumerate} \item Introduction (now, 15 minutes) \item Using Emacs (45 minutes) \item Using ESS (60 minutes) \item Exercise 1: ESS \item Exercise 2: Sweave \item Emacs extensions (30 minutes) \item Emacs Lisp (30 minutes) \item Discussion and Misc Topics (related Emacs tools, ESS extensions, future designs) \end{enumerate} I think that covers pretty much the material I'd first think of covering, with a few queries: - should it be assumed that users have prior experience to Emacs? - as well as Sweave, I'd like to cover Org mode and its framework for literate programming, which I think is quite nice (babel). If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see in the tutorial, please email before 29 October, thanks! Stephen
