The tutorial sessions are aimed at presenting packages and techniques to R users that are interesting for official statistics. Possible topics include report generation, data editing, survey design, survey sampling, weighting and estimation, disclosure control, building and integrating production systems and working with big data.
Tutorial presenters are expected to prepare some exercises so participants can gain hands-on experience during the session. Participants are expected to bring their own laptops.
Authors are invited to propose an abstract for a single or double-slot tutorial session. A single slot takes about three hours including a 20 minute coffee break.
Proposals for tutorial sessions in plain text, with a maximum of about 250 words can be submitted no later than 31 May 2018 by e-mail to the uRos2018 secretariat: uRos2018@cbs.nl.

-Examples of applying R in statistical production.
