SUMMARY:SPSS I Introduction to SPSS
DESCRIPTION:Note: Topic order is subject to change. \nThis workshop is designed to introduce participants to SPSS. It will cover the fundamentals of SPSS\, within-case transformations\, data management with multiple files\, and basic statistics and graphics. Useful for any scholar engaged in quantitative research. \nFundamentals \nThis portion introduces SPSS\, the menu and the help systems\, and the three main types of files used.  It then addresses defining variables\, attaching labels\, defining missing values\, and various ways to enter data into SPSS.  Finally\, it covers a brief introduction to obtaining frequency distributions\, descriptive statistics\, and cross tabulations of variables. \nWithin-Case Transformations \nThis portion introduces data management capabilities\, including recoding variables (manual and automatic)\, computing new variables using formulas\, and counting occurrences of values within subjects.  Attention then turns to temporary transformations\, conditional processing of transformations\, and repetitive transformations. \nData Management with Multiple Files \nThis portion begins with a discussion of subsetting data files by drawing samples\, selecting groups and excluding groups from analysis.  Then\, the two main methods of merging SPSS data files are covered: adding additional variables and adding additional cases. \nBasic Statistical Analysis \nThe portion includes a brief demonstration of a statistical analysis in SPSS. While not delving deep into statistical theory\, we will cover the basics of an analysis\, as well as discuss the graphing facilities in SPSS. \nRegistration\nTo register for CSCAR Workshops\, call the CSCAR front desk at (734) 764-7828 or come to the office in person with cash or check or a UM 6-digit department shortcode: \nOFFICE HOURS\n9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\, Monday through Friday\nClosed 12pm – 1:00 p.m. every Tuesday for staff meeting.\nVoice: (734) 764-7828 (4-STAT from a campus phone)\nFax: (734) 647-2440 \nADDRESS\nCenter for Statistical Consultation and Research (CSCAR)\nThe University of Michigan\n3550 Rackham\n915 E. Washington St.\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1070 \n

SUMMARY:Regular Expressions II
DESCRIPTION:Regular expressions are perfectly suited for people who like puzzles. Regular expressions are a sequence of characters used to define a search pattern. They are commonly used to do “find” and “find and replace” string operations. They are also used to validate strings like phone numbers\, passwords\, etc. in data entry. Regular expression capabilities can be found in a variety of programming languages and software like ArcGIS\, Java\, Javascript\, Matlab\, Perl\, PHP\, Python\, R\, Visual Basic\, etc. and some text editors. This workshop is part II of a two-part series and will cover more advanced topics like captured groups\, backreferences and assertions. The workshop will consist of hands-on example problems. Basic understanding of regular expressions is required. You should be able to understand expressions like “w{3\,}-d{1\,2}-d{4}“ and “des*ert?s?”. The tutorials will be conducted using Python. A basic programming background is helpful but not required for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Android Application Development: Why and How
DESCRIPTION:Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. As of 2017\, Google has stated that over 2 billion devices around the world use the Android operating system\, alongside Apple’s 1 billion iOS mobile devices around the globe. The capabilities and adopted use of modern smartphones can provide an easy gateway to collect data or engage with participants for research purposes. It might seem a daunting task for newcomers to write a program for the computer in their pocket\, but modern tools and software make it more accessible than ever. We will present a brief overview of the differences between Android and iOS development requirements\, and provide demonstrations on how to program an app for your Android phone using a Windows PC environment and a sample of free software packages. \nA familiarity with programming languages and logic is assumed. Program code presented during the workshop may be written in languages including (but not limited to) Java and C#\, familiarity with syntax of these languages is recommended. It is not expected for attendees to program during the workshop\, but those who wish to do so are recommended to install the “Android Studio” IDE in advance.
