Reposting of an earlier announcement, with a reminder of the deadline which is *Tuesday May 13*. == R users, The 2015 American Statistical Association Conference on Statistical Practice is currently accepting proposals for short courses and tutorials. The conference will be held February 19-21 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Two R-related short courses were offered at the last conference, both of which were well received: Elegant R Graphics with ggplot2 An Introduction to R for Data Analysts I am sure there would be interest in a course on interactive graphics, e.g., using R packages shiny or googleVis. Courses and tutorials need not be limited to R. They may touch on any one of the four conference themes: Communication, Impact, and Career Development Data Modeling and Analysis Big Data Prediction and Analytics Software, Programming, and Graphics The deadline for proposal submissions is May 13, 2014. If you are interested, you may submit your abstract on the website: http://www.amstat.org/meetings/csp/2015/courses.cfm Thank you. Jean V.
