SUMMARY:Workshop: Merging Entities - Deterministic\, Approximate\, & Probabilistic
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nMichael Tzen \nTitle:\nMerging Entities: Deterministic\, Approximate\, & Probabilistic \nLocation:\nJanuary 31\, 2019\, 2:00-3:00 PM\n4240 Public Affairs Building\nCCPR Seminar Room \nContent:\nCombining information from different groups is a fundamental procedure in the data analysis pipeline. Using NBA and NCAA data\, we will walk through deterministic\, approximate\, and probabilistic methods to merge entities from the different data sources. Is Luc Richard Mbah a Moute playing in the NBA the same Luc Mbah a Moute who played for the University of California\, Los Angeles? We’ll discuss how the probabilistic methods loosely relate to matching in causal analysis. After this workshop\, participants should be able to merge data sets 3 different ways and think about how the merge quality may affect downstream analysis. \nPlease RSVP below \nhttps://goo.gl/forms/XiuYjqjkcD0WnHov2 \nslides rscript

SUMMARY:Lars Vilhuber\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lars Vilhuber\, Cornell University “Replication and Reproducibility in Social Sciences and Statistics: Context\, Concerns\, and Concrete Measures” \nAbstract: Replicability is at the core of the scientific enterprise. In the past 30 years\, recurring concerns about the extent of replicability  (or lack thereof) of the research in various disciplines have surfaced\, including in economics. In this talk\, I describe the context in which the current discussion in the social science is occurring: what are the definitions of replicability and reproducibility\, what is failing\, and to what extent. I discuss the currents state in economics as an example: to what extent is this a problem\, what are the approaches that are being considered\, and what are the possible broader implications of those approaches. Finally\, I discuss the concrete measures that are being implemented under my guidance at the American Economic Association\, and that are being discussed in the broader social science community. The solutions to these problems will change the way research will be taught and conducted\, in economics in particular\, and in the social sciences more broadly. The implications affect undergraduate and graduate teaching\, research infrastructure\, and habits. \n

SUMMARY:Chad Hazlett\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Making Sense of Sensitivity: Extending Omitted Variable Bias \nAbstract:We extend the omitted variable bias framework with a suite of tools for sensitivity analysis in regression models that: (i) does not require assumptions about the treatment assignment nor the nature of confounders; (ii) naturally handles multiple confounders\, possibly acting non-linearly; (iii) exploits expert knowledge to bound sensitivity parameters; and\, (iv) can be easily computed using only standard regression results. In particular\, we introduce two novel sensitivity measures suited for routine reporting. The robustness value describes the minimum strength of association unobserved confounding would need to have\, both with the treatment and the outcome\, to change the research conclusions. The partial R2 of the treatment with the outcome shows how strongly confounders explaining all the residual outcome variation would have to be associated with the treatment to eliminate the estimated effect. Next\, we offer graphical tools for elaborating on problematic confounders\, examining the sensitivity of point estimates\, t-values\, as well as “extreme scenarios”. Finally\, we describe problems with a common “benchmarking” practice and introduce a novel procedure to instead formally bound the strength of confounders based on comparison to observed covariates. We apply these methods to a running example that estimates the effect of exposure to violence on attitudes toward peace. \nPodcast Recording  \nMore info on Chad Hazlett

SUMMARY:Workshop: Bayesian Concepts for Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Michael Tzen \nContent:\nThis 1 hour workshop will provide a sampling of introductory concepts for bayesian analysis. We will use Bayes Rule (and its implications) to think about data analysis. When used as a framework to model phenomenon\, the analyst gets to work with 4 useful distributions: the prior\, posterior\, prior predictive\, & posterior predictive. We will predict what clothing size 2Chainz wears. We’ll also look at the Gompertz Rule from demography. In both examples\, the bayesian framework allows us to clearly express the estimand\, information from data\, information from prior knowledge\, and the estimator. \nThis workshop is the first of a two part series. The first workshop is conceptual while the second workshop will focus on software. The date for the second workshop is TBD. \nPlease RSVP Here: \nhttps://goo.gl/forms/CF4wuaobfqpug9Js1 \nslides

DESCRIPTION:Daniel Lee\nJune 23\, 2015\n10:00 AM-12:00 PM\n\n4240 Public Affairs Building\n\n\n\n\n\nStan is an open-source\, Bayesian inference tool with interfaces in R\, Python\, Matlab\, Julia\, Stata\, and the command line. Users write statistical models in a high-level statistical language. The default Bayesian inference algorithm is the no-U-turn sampler (NUTS)\, an auto-tuned version of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. Stan was developed to address the speed and scalability issues of existing Bayesian inference tools. The goal of the workshop is the practical application of Stan to different models starting with ordinary linear regression and ending with more complex models such as generalized linear mixed and hierarchical models.

SUMMARY:How to Effectively Talk About Your Research with Diverse Audiences
DESCRIPTION:Shelley Wiseman and Prof. Jennie Brand\nDecember 10\, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM\n4240 Public Affairs Building \nWhen you are asked to talk about your research\, many of the challenges are the same no matter who your audience and what your communications medium (PowerPoint or not). How to get and keep the audience on board. How to choose what to say and what to leave out. How to identify and reinforce take-away messages. With your peers\, you can assume some shared understanding and common language. Start at Point C and with your help the audience will hop on board and follow along. But what are the pitfalls? How can your presentation be more effective? Non-academic audiences pose other challenges. How to establish context and explain complicated concepts. How to tweak main messages for high-stakes audiences such as policymakers and the media.
