This workshop will cover GIS concepts and techniques for analyzing geometric networks embedded in geographical space. We will mainly focus on road network, but the ideas and techniques apply to similar network such as water and electric distribution and gas pipelines. We will primarily use open source tools in R and QGIS, but will also […]
This workshop will provide an overview of how to scrape data from html pages and website APIs using Python. This will mostly be accomplished using the requests, beautifulsoup, retry modules and the browser developer tools. The workshop is intended for users with basic Python knowledge. Anaconda Python 3.5 will be used.
Missing data arise in many fields of research, and a large body of statistical tools has been developed to facilitate statistical analysis in the presence of missing data. Here we focus mainly on multiple imputation, which is a broadly-applicable approach for working with missing data. We will illustrate through several case studies how multiple imputation […]
This workshop will provide a brief overview of the the new HPC environment and is intended for current Flux and Armis users. We will use the temporary Beta HPC cluster to demonstrate how jobs will be submitted and managed under the new Great Lakes, Armis2, and Lighthouse clusters available later this year. There are many […]
This semester, a series of seven workshops was offered by CSCAR illustrating various approaches to statistical analysis using the Python Statsmodels package. In this session, we will provide an open forum for people to get hands-on assistance in this environment. Several data sets and suggested analysis goals will be provided, but participants are also welcome […]

Overview This workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Flux Cluster. The main body of the workshop will cover the resource manager and scheduler, creating submissions scripts to run jobs and the options available in them, and hands-on experience. By the end of the workshop, every participant should have created a […]
This course will cover some more advanced topics in cluster computing on the U-M Flux Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Flux; dependent and array scheduling; advanced troubleshooting and analysis using checkjob, qstat, and other tools; and parallel debugging and profiling of C and […]
