Mediation models are commonly applied in a variety of modeling settings, and people will typically flock to tools specific to structural equation modeling like Mplus or Amos for analysis. However, not only are such tools not necessary for the more common implementations of mediation, they are often limiting and have various drawbacks. Fortunately there are […]
We all had this: "My program is too slow". We all have heard: "Use Fortran and C++, they are fast." But will it really help? We all have heard also: "Don't bother, use Python and R on a better computer", and "HPC clusters are fast". But what does "better" and "fast" even mean? In this […]
Learn how to format, load and visualize your data in 3D. Jugular works in U-M M.I.D.E.N., the Occulus Rift and any desktop window. The U-M 3D Lab will teach this workshop and show us the available tools in-house. This workshop is part of the Scientific Computing Student Club's (SC2) 2020 Visualization Challenge.

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 […]
