Was the 2021 Texas blackout event unpredictable or yet preventable? The BOKU study, just published in the journal Nature Energy, combines methods of environmental economy with extreme value statistics of low flow hydrology to estimate the occurrence risk of a new winter blackout in Texas.

Data Science @ BOKU is a cross-institutional and cross-departmental platform that aims to improve internal networking. Periodic events with plenty of opportunities to network with your colleagues are planned.

R is a programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. The R language is widely used among statisticians and data miners for developing statistical software and data analysis. Polls, surveys of data miners, and studies of scholarly literature databases show that R's popularity has increased substantially in recent years.
