MY FANS DON’T FEEL LIKE I HOLD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM

I started working permanently as University Lecturer of Statistics at University of Eastern Finland. I am positioned at School of Computing at Kuopio campus. My work involves a reasonable amount of research time and I am very happy about that.

My personal home pages are now running using Hugo, which allows embedded R posts.

I have been working with Jani Miettinen and Reijo Sund to publish an R package for the register studies. The current developent version is the first to go publically available. You can download it from github. Remember to study the vignettes before running it!

  • Download on github
  • Follow package pages to self study it!

I am participating the North Savo Data Lake -project. Official project name is AI-HUB project. For more details in Finnish, please see University of Eastern Finland news.
