STPF Affinity Group: Data Users/R Users Group
This group advances the mission of making data more accessible by sharing methods of implementation. The covid 19 pandemic has highlighted that many citizens are willing and in fact, would like to look at data for themselves. One of the things that this group discusses and brings to the forefront is how is data represented, its reach and limitations but also methods for interacting with data that are more clear and open, and FAIR. This group also shares knowledge about the statistical programming language R and its use in the federal government.
