Custom Training for Intro to Data Science with R and Sports Analytics
-
We provided on site technical instruction for Startup Institute and Western New England University's 10-week Intro to Data Science course, highlighting R Programming, Data Analysis and Tableau. We partnered with TCB Analytics to provide teaching and lab assistance and together, we:
Provided weekly instruction and tailored specific course content to meet the unique needs of the students of different technical backgrounds
Played an active role in reviewing homework assignments
Guided and mentored 14 students over the course of 10 weeks, helping them prepare and confidently present their research projects in the field of sports analytics.
Their interactive dashboards developed with Tableau, were showcased to an audience of local industry professionals, offering valuable insights and solutions. This collaborative approach ensured that the students received a comprehensive and enriching learning experience while addressing the need for skilled instruction.
Open Source Technical Documentation for the R Community
-
Problem
The CRAN Team often sees the same issues cropping up in package (re-)submissions to CRAN. The solution may be documented in the Writing R Extensions manual or the CRAN Repository Policy, however, it may take package maintainers some time to work out how to fix their package.
For new submissions, this can mean a long delay in getting a nearly finished package onto the official repository. For re-submissions, maintainers may miss the deadline set by the CRAN Team to fix the package, meaning a package can be temporarily or permanently archived, affecting users and other package developers. These all present a high barrier of entry to developing and submitting R packages to CRAN for new R developers.
Our Solution
Daly Analytics led a project team comprised of writers and industry/academic advisors to author and publish the “CRAN Cookbook”: A guide book foreasy recipes to implement & discover for common CRAN submission issues. Daly Analytics provided technical writing and project management to help improve the skillset of R package maintainers and budding developers in a user-friendly Quarto website.
Shiny App Optimizations for a International Wild Cat Conservation Non-profit
-
Problem
Panthera, a global leader in wild cat conservation, relies on PantheraIDS, an R/Shiny-based application, to analyze & manage critical data on 40 species of wild cats. However, performance issues, usability challenges, and feature gaps in PantheraIDS has limited its ability to fully support conservation efforts, as more data becomes available.
Our Solution
Daly Analytics is currently partnering with Panthera’s Conservation Technology Team to optimize and enhance PantheraIDS, ensuring it meets the needs of its users. Our work included implementing intuitive species filtering widgets to improve customization in statistical analyses and introducing a pop-up notification flow for a seamless image recognition experience. We also addressed critical bugs, modified an in-house JavaScript (D3) visualization library, and conducted performance testing to identify bottlenecks. To guide long-term improvements, we delivered a comprehensive Quarto report outlining prioritized recommendations and a roadmap for solutions.
This collaboration has empowered Panthera’s scientists with a more efficient, user-friendly tool, enabling them to focus on their vital mission of conserving wild cats and their ecosystems worldwide.
