Webinar: Doing Data Science Right in Excel-Pervasive Utilities
September 25, 2018 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
Tuesday, September 25th, 11:00am-12:00pm Eastern
Clutter created by years of Excel usage is inescapable in the utility industry, as are its associated bad consequences. A few years ago The Energy Authority (TEA) decided to utilize R to break out of this bad practice with the goal of building accurate, explainable, adaptable, scalable, accessible and reproducible models. With very limited help from IT developers, a group of analysts built up their own platforms for modeling, data storage, and deployment, overcoming numerous obstacles along the way. In this webinar, TEA will share their solutions to improving analytics workflow by adopting the latest R technology.
Attendees will learn:
- Important attributes for data science platforms
- Quality control for analytics models
- How to generate interactive web UI without IT developers
