This workshop will cover regression analysis using linear models and least squares in Python. We will discuss the goals and main use-cases for linear regression, and how to interpret a fitted linear model. We will then discuss methods for fitting more complex models with larger data sets, including the use of interactions, dummy-coding of categorical […]
OVERVIEW This workshop will provide a brief overview of the components of the Great Lakes 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 […]
OVERVIEW This workshop will cover some more advanced topics in computing on the U-M Great Lakes Cluster. Topics to be covered include a review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Great Lakes; dependent and array scheduling; workflow scripting using bash; high-throughput computing using launcher; parallel processing in one or more of Python, […]
In the R by Example series of workshops, we’ll discuss example analyses in R as a vehicle for learning commonly used tools and programming patterns. The “Analyzing RECS using tidyverse” workshop will focus on analyzing winter home temperatures in the US using data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/). We’ll use the tidyverse (tidyverse.org) throughout, relying on […]
Ever want to know how to communicate with a database? You need to know SQL, a standard programming language for working with relational database management systems in data warehouses or just Microsoft Access. This workshop will cover the basic syntax of SQL. Material will focus mainly on how to query databases. A web-based tool will […]
Due to unforeseen circumstances the originally scheduled talk by Professor Brandon Johnson has been cancelled and replaced with the following seminar. Theoretical and Computational Contributions to the Modeling of Global Tsunamis The distribution of tsunami amplitudes in the open ocean is controlled by source mechanism as well as bathymetry geometry and resolution, with the latter […]
Mobile app development is one of the biggest new industries of the last decade. If you are developing an Android app for the first time, the first option you will likely find is "Android Studio," a free integrated-developer-environment (IDE) provided directly by the Android team at Google, using the Java programming language. It's a good […]
MIDAS and CSCAR will hold a drop-in coding session focusing on using the Julia programming language for basic data analysis. No prior experience with Julia is expected. The session will focus on analyzing large public AIS datasets recording the tracks of ships traveling in US coastal waters. Participants can use (link below) as a starting […]
