Eric Schles will present on statistical programming with C++. Location details will be provided in early May. Depending on the location, we may up the attendance limit then.
Abstract: Statistics in C++ can be useful because of the efficiency of the language. Come take a guided tour of the fundamental constructs: Starting with an introduction to distributions including how to visualize them in C++. Next point statistics like means and standard deviations. Then onto Ordinary least squares and visualization of OLS in data. Last but not least an introduction to programming decision trees and neural networks.
