A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. Computer software simulation is used in virtually every discipline. These programs virtually represent small components of real-world events and behaviors, and allow scientists to test different models to guide real-world research. However, these can be individually complex, and written in different computer languages and programs. It's […]
A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are used as a machine learning method for both regression and classification problems. Keras is a high-level, Python interface running on top of multiple neural network libraries, including the popular library TensorFlow. In this workshop, participants will learn how to quickly use the Keras interface to perform nonlinear regression and classification with standard fully-connected DNNs, as well […]
This is the second workshop in this series and will build on the material and the techniques covered in the first workshop. We will use COVID-19 data available here https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data, combine it with other data such as from Census and will learn about creating maps, including web maps, that involve more than one variable. We will […]
A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. This workshop will introduce you to the NumPy library in Python, which is useful in scientific computing. We will cover NumPy’s n-dimensional array object and associated functions in depth, along with related linear algebra and random number capabilities. Some familiarity with Python is expected. The workshop will be […]
Tired of using `table` and `summary`? Or repeatedly using a `group_by %>% summarise` approach? Many are still using R inefficiently to summarize data, especially for presentation. However, data needs to be explored before modeling can take place, both to familiarize oneself with the strengths and limitations of the data, as well as to diagnose errors […]
A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants. Smartwatches are multi-functional devices that can be worn on the wrist. They can read your heartbeat, notify you of messages from your phone, and can even tell the time! Google's "Wear OS" is a branch of the Android mobile operating system, and it encourages open app […]
This workshop will be held over two days (July 21 & July 28). A link will be sent to all registered participants, registration is required. Recent collapse of several bridges, such as the I-35 truss bridge in Minneapolis in 2007, Ponte Morandi cable stayed bridge in Genoa, Italy, in 2018, Florida International University Pedestrian Bridge […]
In many situations, we observe a process over a limited number of locations and are interested in estimating its values at nearby unsampled locations. Geostatistical methods provide a powerful tool to do this. In this session, we will build upon the material and intuitions covered in the first workshop. We will focus on the principles, […]
