Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged […]
Instructor: Matt Lahmann We'll get you signed up for hoffman2 and TS2. With Hoffman2 and TS2, you'll have state of the art hardware resources and most software you'll ever need for research. RSVP Signup via https://forms.gle/FgGuPdqQdF3RLVzC8
Instructor: Mike Tzen Using a very common data analysis scenario of "Group-(Split)-Apply-Combine", we'll show you how to make the most of cutting edge powerful hardware in both Hoffman2 and TS2. RSVP signup via https://forms.gle/i9fXG2Dcbw8L5AG38 slides rscript
We’ll look at how different multilevel groupings are used in different analysis methods. As examples, Longitudinal, Hierarchical, and Crossed grouping structures have been used in Sports, Survey, Time till Event, Spatial, and Network analyses. Participants should come in thinking of a project and we can work out possible approaches as a group. Note: This is […]
An Introduction: The Library Data Science Center Description: This talk will provide an introduction to the Library Data Science Center, the services and research support it provides. Tim Dennis is the Director of the Data Science Center, whose mission is to foster a welcoming research community by developing data literacy and foundational coding skills through […]
We will have a remote workshop to demo useful tools to help researchers work remotely. We plan to demo VPNs, remote server options, zoom, github, jupyter notebooks, etc. Please RSVP in the survey. We will send out the zoom link to those who signed up. If you have a specific tool you want to learn […]
