R, long one of the most popular languages for statistical modeling, has evolved into a data science powerhouse platform with dozens of packages and interfaces for machine learning, deep learning, data visualization, and various other data science methods.

This advanced language is used for performing complex statistical modeling and provides support for operations on arrays, matrices, and vectors. Its many graphical libraries allow users to delineate aesthetic graphs and also develop web-applications using R Shiny, which is used for embedding visualizations in web-pages. R also provides  several options for advanced data analytics like prediction modeling and advanced machine learning algorithms. With interfaces to popular frameworks like TensorFlow and Keras, R users can easily build and deploy the latest deep learning models.

Advanced ResearcherInria

Julie Josse, PhD

Julie Josse is a senior researcher in statistics and machine learning applied to health at Inria, a French research institute in digital sciences, and Professor at Ecole Polytechnique (Paris). She is an expert in the treatment of missing values (inference, multiple imputation, matrix completion, MNAR, supervised learning with missing values) and has created a website on the topic (https://rmisstastic.netlify.app/) for users. Her research also focuses on causal inference techniques (causal inference with missing values, combining RCT and observational data) for personalized medicine. Julie Josse is dedicated to reproducible research with R statistical software: she has developed packages including FactoMineR and missMDA to transfer her work.
