I’m really pleased that an article I wrote, “5 real-world uses of big data“, has been published in the widely-read technology blog GigaOm. In the article, I review five examples of using data science techniques and R to make sense of some large real-world data sets:

  • Drew Conway’s analysis of the Afghanistan attacks data released by Wikileaks
  • Benetech’s use of R to identify genocides
  • The many uses of R for sabermetrics
  • How NIST used R to respond to the BP oil spill
