Ron Fredericks writes: In February I attended the Bay Area R User Group meeting recently held at Predictive Analytics World 2009. Michael E. Driscoll, one of the two kickoff meeting co-chairs, was gracious enough to let LectureMaker capture the video for the event as a technical marketing “lighthouse” project.

Today I am happy to present this video to my readers.

If you manage the marketing, feature roll-out, or web site design, for a social network or professional ecosystem, then you need the techniques presented in this video.

Watch this video to learn about:

1. The open-source analytics programming language called R
2. How Google and Facebook approach analytics to predict their web user community’s behavior
3. Where to download R and get enterprise level support
4. How the meeting co-chairs use R

Panel of four recognized R users from industry:

• Bo Cowgill, Google
• Itamar Rosenn, Facebook
• David Smith, Revolution Computing
• Jim Porzak, The Generations Network

Moderator and co-chair of Bay Area R User Group:
