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 […]
The goal of this workshop is to share information among a broad group of investigators who are employing mobile technology to study persons who have experienced homelessness. Projects discussed will include studies of homelessness among Veterans and non-Veterans. Presented projects will range from early-stage studies that are in progress to completed studies, including those that […]
A journal club to discuss measuring intersectional and structural racism, further with a lens on structural bias and how statistical models can be developed/adjusted to partner with the research being developed in other areas such as public health and racism. Faculty sponsors: Chandra Ford and Gilbert Gee
CCPR June 15 – 26, 2020 4240 Public Affairs Building The purpose of the Summer Institute is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career faculty interested in computational social science. The Summer Institute is open to both social scientists (broadly conceived) and data scientists (broadly conceived).
The two-word goal of “count everyone” is simply stated, but difficult. In this workshop we will give a broad overview of the many moving parts connected to the US decennial operation. Although fair apportionment is the primary motivator for a complete enumeration, we highlight how the 2020 decennial also serves as an important backbone for […]
The RDC allows researchers to access confidential data from a growing number of federal statistical agencies, including the Census Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Internal Revenue Service. This includes more fine-grained regional information and variables with respect to public data and […]
Instructor: Matt Lahmann Instructor: Mike Tzen This workshop has two halves. In the first half, we will dive into the 3 main computing resources that CCPR offers to affiliates, including it's remote and on campus offerings. At the end of the first half, we'll get participants signed up for hoffman2 and TS2. Once signed up, […]
Instructor: Mike Tzen In this 2nd CCPR Census Workshop (2 of 3), we'll take a look at some of the ways the US Census Bureau, edits, imputes, and maintains privacy of the 2020 decennial census data before releasing it to the public. For practical reasons, we'll spend more time on imputation, as attendees will most […]
Hiram Beltran-Sanchez (UCLA), Jennie Brand (UCLA), and Rob Warren (UMN) will discuss life after tenure during their presentation.
DemSemX Within academia, there is a lot of focus and advice around getting tenure—understandably, as it represents a singular evaluation hurdle within tenure-granting institutions. Yet, academic careers can be long, and there are many decisions to be made after tenure about how to invest one’s time and energy. In this pair of sessions, six scholars […]
Instructors: Mike Tzen Neal Fultz In this CCPR Census Workshop (part 3/3), we will get the newly released 2020 Census Bureau PL94 data using the statistical programming language R. Along the way, we will point out recent criticisms of the data and highlight uses of the PL94. If time permits, we will post-stratify your special […]

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to analyze survey data while accounting for its complex survey design. We will demonstrate how to specify the survey design, impute any missing data, and analyze the survey outcomes of interest. We will discuss how our downstream “analysis” steps are related to initial operational “design” choices made by […]
