<p>I’ll be in the UK next week doing three talks in three days: </p>
<ul>
<li>First, I’ll be giving a talk at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.meetup.com/rladies-london/events/233061594/">London R-Ladies meetup</a> on Monday October 3rd with perhaps the best title yet: <strong><em>Whose Scat Is That? An ‘Easily Digestible’ Introduction to Predictive Modeling and <code>caret</code></em></strong>. </li>
<li>On Tuesday, October 4th I’m giving a talk at the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.meetup.com/Cambridge-R-Users-Group-Meetup/events/234302826/">Cambridge RUG</a> on tuning hyperparameters using optimization algorithms. This is an extension of <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2016/06/bayesian-optimization-of-machine-learning-models.html">this blog post</a>. </li>
<li>Finally, on Wednesday (the 5th) at the fantastic <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ncs-conference.org/">Nonclinical Statistics Conference</a>, I’ll be speaking on <strong><em>Statistical Mediation in Early Discovery by Bayesian Analysis and Visualization</em></strong>. The banner image above is from this talk. Lots of priors and <a target="_blank" href="http://shiny.rstudio.com/">shiny apps</a>. </li>
</ul>
