Enabling Exploratory Analysis of Large Data with Apache Spark and R

The Rare Disease Cures Accelerator–Data and Analytics Platform (RDCA-DAP®) is launching a new webinar series with the goal of sharing with the community examples of the use of rare disease person-level data in drug development and regulatory decision making. The series will feature 1-hour webinars highlighting analyses that have been done in individual disease areas, how they informed drug development, and how similar approaches could be applied to common drug development issues encountered in rare diseases. After each presentation time will be allowed for discussion with a panel of Quantitative and Regulatory experts around why the solutions presented were informative, lessons learned and how similar approaches could be applied to related problems.

It’s not always about the numbers; it’s more about how you present them in an easily understandable way. Not everything can go into a pie chart, and not everything looks right in a line graph. That’s why it’s crucial to know the best principles of data visualization.

Webinar will discuss about: History and present of SAP Business Model. Overview of Technology underlying SAP HANA (In Memory Computing) , Bigdata, Space for Analytics. SAP HANA Modelling Environment (Architecture + Setting up Environment). Data warehousing Models (Star schema + concept of master data). Basic Graphical Views (attribute, analytical and calculation Views). Data base operation in Hana tool.

Discussion Topics: - What is a data story - When and how should data storytelling be used - Which new skills and techniques do you need to create compelling data stories - Which experiences can help tell your story beyond dashboards on a 2D screen
