Data Science with applications in R course covering the advanced topics and following the Data Science with R I course. Data Science with R II covers clustering, text mining, support vector machines, neural networks, and networks. The main aim of the course is to train students to be able to properly analyze specific datasets with methods outside of standard econometric framework using the R programming environment.

Paper presentation:

Link to the presentation video (Google Drive, DropBox, YouTube, whichever you choose) to be submitted via SIS by the end of Week #15
You may work in pairs
Presentation video:

Find a research paper on your topic of interest (topics from either Data Science with R I or II, not simple regression models, though).
Find topical literature.
Present the paper, motivation, methodology, main results, how it contributes to the literature, and, importantly, propose how you would extend the paper or if you found any issues with the paper.
Make sure that the work split as well as the presentation split is approximately uniformly distributed in the pair.
Up to 15 minutes long (strict). Longer video means penalization of 50%.
Late submission means 100% penalization (strict).
