“We have chosen R because:– It is extremely flexible, allowing us to do data collection, data management, exploratory data analysis, and other essential non-modeling tasks.– Manipulating matrices is easy.– It has sophisticated tools for modeling investment returns and for analyzing and presenting results of simulations. And it has great tools for visualizing results.– The work can be completely open and reproducible, which is essential to the success of this project.” Don Boyd ( September 02, 2014 )
Build a model to predict the impact of weather on urban air quality using Amazon SageMaker
Air pollution in cities can be an acute problem leading to damaging effects on people, animals, plants and property. It is an important topic which is getting increased attention as the human population of cities continues to increase. This year it was the subject the 2018 KDD Cup, the annual data mining and knowledge discovery competition organized by ACM SIGKDD.

On the growth of our PyDataLondon community
I haven’t spoken on our PyDataLondon meetup community in a while so I figure a few numbers are due. We’re now at an incredible 7,800 members and just this month we had 200 members in the room at AHL’s new venue. We’re a volunteer run community – you’ll see the list of our brilliant volunteers here along with their Twitter accounts.
