Full title: How I became a Data Composer – examples of simulated datasets that bring value to a data-driven company How can I get the buy-in from business partners to use more advanced techniques? What can I do to make a data project involving several teams more efficient? And how can I train analysts who do not (yet) have access to sensitive data? A good data composer is skilled at creating suitable data quickly and efficiently. R has many functions and packages that help with simulating independent variables and composing those in a meaningful way. In this talk, I will share how I started creating data and how this skill helped me with solving some of the issues described above. Showing a few examples – of small, medium-sized, and large data composition – I want to encourage attendees to simulate data and enrich their data skillset.
