Pro Bono: IEEE Chicago Section Statistician - Part 4
This post is the fourth in a series on my pro bono efforts outside of the workplace as Statistician for the IEEE Chicago Section, a new position that I filled in September 2012 after the membership development team realized that ongoing data analyses and reporting was needed around declining enrollment.
As discussed in the last post, the bulk of my initial time spent on this work was fixing existing graphs that I had inherited, moving from Microsoft Excel to the R language, maintaining existing data sets, creating new data sets, and creating formal presentations that I started distributing on a monthly basis.
After creating re-runnable R scripts in early 2013 for the monthly graphs that the team came to expect, my attention turned toward creating new visualizations that seek to better understand the data, and I began to spend more time to communicate my analyses for the nonanalytical.
