SUMMARY:Introduction to Geostatistics
DESCRIPTION:Geostatistics models continuous variation over geographical space. It is widely used for spatial interpolation. We will use R and ArcGIS to explore and develop an understanding of variogram and kriging and how they can be used for robust and unbiased interpolation of data over space. \nDepending on the interests of the participants\, the workshop will also touch upon the computational aspects involved in implementing geostatistical models for relatively large data.

SUMMARY:Spin Class: No Sweat Reports in R
DESCRIPTION:If you use R\, there’s a decent chance you are already familiar with using Rmarkdown files and the knitr package to create reports documenting your analyses. A lesser known but equally useful function distributed with the knitr package is spin\, which gives you the power of Rmarkdown directly from an R script. This is especially powerful when creating quick\, memorandum-style documents which may be heavy on analysis but light on text. The power of spin lies in making it easy to interleave code\, output\, and text including all the bells and whistles of Rmarkdown but without the extra work of writing a separate Rmd file. \nIn this workshop\, I’ll discuss the basics of spin and its relationship to Rmarkdown and then provide participants with hands-on experience spinning up elegant\, reproducible\, analytic reports.

SUMMARY:More Mixed Models
DESCRIPTION:In the R world\, lme4 is a great package for mixed model estimation\, and the most widely used for such models.  For standard settings\, few tools will do the trick as easily or as quickly\, and because of that\, its approach has been emulated in other packages and statistical programs.  However\, that ease and efficiency comes at a price of being able to do more complex models\, so at some point you may need to switch gears.  This workshop will demonstrate other ways to potentially get what you need. \nDemonstration will (potentially) include the following\, along with some discussion of strengths and/or drawbacks to use. \nglmmTMB: heterogenous variances\, autocorrelated residuals\, zero-inflated models\nrstanarm\, brms: bayesian approaches\nmgcv: additive effects\, robust models\, big data\nstatsmodels: in case you’re in the Python world. \nThis workshop assumes basic familiarity with mixed models\, and familiarity with R\, especially the lme4 package.  However\, this is a brief demonstration with a simple goal of bringing about awareness of other useful tools\, so one can simply attend to hear about them.

SUMMARY:R package demo: gganimate and patchwork
DESCRIPTION:This brief workshop will demonstrate the capabilities of two recent R packages\, gganimate and patchwork. One package allows the data explorer to provide some lively enhancement to an otherwise static plot\, without doing much more than standard plots with ggplot2. Likewise\, the other package can seamlessly combine multiple ggplots of varying kinds into one cohesive visualization. \nPrior knowledge of ggplot2 is required\, but not much else. Note also that this is just a demo. No statistical or analytical concepts will be discussed\, and while participation is certainly welcomed\, one can simply watch the demonstration.

SUMMARY:Advanced batch computing with Slurm on the Great Lakes cluster
DESCRIPTION:OVERVIEW\n\n\nThis workshop will cover some more advanced topics in cluster 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; troubleshooting and analysis; a brief introduction to workflow scripting using bash; parallel processing in one or more of Python\, R\, and MATLAB; and parallel profiling of C and Fortran code using Allinea Performance Reports and Allinea MAP of one or more of MPI and OpenMP programs. \nPRE-REQUISITES\nThis course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the CSCAR/ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them. \nINSTRUCTORS\nDr. Charles J Antonelli\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nCharles is a High Performance Computing Consultant in the Research Computing Services group of LSA TS at the University of Michigan\, where he is responsible for high performance computing support and education\, and was an Advocate to the Departments of History and Communications. Prior to this\, he built a parallel data ingestion component of a novel earth science data assimilation system\, a secure packet vault\, and worked on the No. 5 ESS Switch at Bell Labs in the 80s. He has taught courses in operating systems\, distributed file systems\, C++ programming\, security\, and database application design. \nJohn Thiels\nResearch Computing Services\nLSA Technology Services \nMATERIALS\n\nLecture Notes (TBD)\nMPI Profiling with Allinea MAP\nGreat Lakes Slurm HPC cluster\n\n\nCOURSE PREPARATION\nIn order to participate successfully in the workshop exercises\, you must have a Great Lakes user account\, a Great Lakes job account (one is created for each workshop)\, and be enrolled in Duo. The user account allows you to log in to the cluster\, create\, compile\, and test applications\, and prepare jobs for submission. The job account allows you to submit those jobs\, executing the applications in parallel on the cluster and charging their resource use against the account. Duo is required to help authenticate you to the cluster. \nGREAT LAKES USER ACCOUNT\nIf you already have a Flux user account\, you don’t need to do anything to obtain a Great Lakes user account.  Otherwise\, go to the Flux user account application page at: https://arc-ts.umich.edu/fluxform/ . \nPlease note that obtaining a user account requires human processing\, so be sure to do this at least two business days before class begins. \nGREAT LAKES JOB ACCOUNT\nWe create a job account for the workshop so you can run jobs on the cluster during the workshop and for one day after for those who would like additional practice. The workshop job account is quite limited and is intended only to run examples to help you cement the details of job submission and management. If you already have an existing Great Lakes job account\, you can use that\, though if there are any issues with that job account\, we will ask you to use the workshop job account. \nDUO AUTHENTICATION\nDuo two-factor authentication is required to log in to the cluster. When logging in\, you will need to type your UMICH (AKA Level 1) password as well as authenticate through Duo in order to access Great Lakes. \nIf you need to enroll in Duo\, follow the instructions at Enroll a Smartphone or Tablet in Duo. \nPlease enroll in Duo before you come to class. \n\nLAPTOP PREPARATION\nYou do not need to bring your own laptop to class. The classroom contains Windows or Mac computers\, which require your uniqname and UMICH (AKA Level 1) password to login\, and that have all necessary software pre-loaded. \nIf you want to use a laptop for the course\, you are welcome to do so:  please see our web page on Preparing your laptop to use Flux. However\, if there are problems connecting your laptop\, you will be asked to switch to the provided computer for the class. We cannot stop to debug connection issues with personal or departmental laptops during the class. \n\nIf you are unable to attend the presentation in person we will be offering a link into the live course via BlueJeans. Please register as if attending in person.  This will put you on the wait list but we will get your account setup for remote attendance.

SUMMARY:Multiple testing and large-scale inference in Python
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will cover techniques for conducting large-scale inference\, using Python and its libraries.  We will cover the principals of how large scale inference is different from classical inference\, and why multiple comparisons should usually be accounted for in an analysis.  We will then discuss the Bonferroni method\, Benjamini and Hochberg’s False Discovery Rate (FDR)\, Efron’s local FDR\, the Scheffe approach\, and the knockoff filter.  The motivation for each approach will be covered\, and the process for carrying it out in a data analysis will be discussed in detail.  Several case studies will be used to illustrate these analytic approaches.

SUMMARY:Simulation studies in Python
DESCRIPTION:Simulation studies are used to understand the properties of statistical procedures.  This technique is widely used when conducting power analysis for research studies\,  which is one focus for this workshop.  Simulation studies can also be used to assess the performance of statistical procedures in non-standard settings\, such as when there are concerns about missing data\, selection bias\, measurement errors\, or model specification.  Another role for simulation studies is to contrast the performance of alternative statistical methods\, e.g. for prediction. \nThis workshop will emphasize practical aspects of conducting simulation studies using Python\, including data simulation\, automation\, and interpretation and communication of simulation findings.

SUMMARY:MICDE Seminar: Guy A. E. Vandenbosch\, Electrical Engineering\, KU Leuven
DESCRIPTION:Bio: Guy A. E. Vandenbosch is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Leuven\, Belgium. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven in 1985 and 1991\, respectively.\nHe was a research and teaching assistant from 1985 to 1991 with the Telecommunications and Microwaves section of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven\, where he worked on the modeling of microstrip antennas with the integral equation technique. From 1991 to 1993\, he held a postdoctoral research position\, in 1993 he became a Lecturer\, and since 2005 he’s been a Full Professor at the same university. Guy Vandenbosch has taught or teaches courses on “Electromagnetic Waves”\, “Antennas”\, “Electromagnetic Compatibility”\, “Fundamentals of Communication and Information Theory”\, “Electrical Engineering\, Electronics\, and Electrical Energy”\, and ”Digital Steer- and Measuring Techniques in Physics”. \nProf. Vandenbosch’s research interests are in the area of electromagnetic theory\, computational electromagnetics\, planar antennas and circuits\, nano-electromagnetics\, EM radiation\, EMC\, and bio-electromagnetics. His work has been published in over 300 papers in international journals and has led to over 370 papers at international conferences. He was a member of the Management Committees‘ of the consecutive European COST actions on antennas between 1993 and 2017\, where he was leading the working group on modeling and software for antennas. \nOn a Boundary Integral Equation Approach Modeling the Interaction of Light with Nanostructured Metallic Objects\nComputational Electromagnetics (CEM) is the technology modeling the interaction of electromagnetic waves (EM waves) with physical objects and their surroundings. This technology has been demonstrated to be a key element in the design of\, e.g.\, modern antennas\, waveguiding/shaping devices\, etc..It has been playing a pivotal role in forging modern communication systems\, and therefore was\, is and will be greatly impacting peoples’ daily life. However\, despite of all these successes\, very recent experiments on the interaction of light (EM waves at optical frequencies) with deep-nanoscale metallic structures suggest the need of a paradigm shift in the classic CEM algorithms\, where a more refined material model is required. As the very first step in this direction\, we combine the dynamics of classical EM waves with the semi-classical hydrodynamic motion of free electrons in metals. The problem is formulated in the framework of Boundary Integral Equations (BIEs) and subsequently solved by the Method of Moments (MoM) algorithm. This research contributes to potentially bridging the computational gap between the classical macroscopic world and the quantum mechanical microscopic world\, and provides an essential tool for chemists and physicists to understand new physics in the nanoscopic world. \nProf. Vandenbosch is being hosted by Prof. Michielssen (Electrical Engineering). If you would like to meet with him during his visit\, please send an email to micde-events@umich.edu. If you are a student or postdoc and would like to join him for lunch on Thurs.\, April 18\, please RSVP here by April 16.

SUMMARY:Sliding into Slurm:  An early look at U-M's new high-performance computing environment
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThere are many differences between the familiar Flux environment and that of the new HPC clusters\, including a new batch scheduling system\, a new interactive batch job environment\, a new HPC web portal\, a new module environment\, and a new on-demand-only job accounting system. \nWe will cover these differences in the workshop\, and provide hands-on training in creating and running job submission scripts in the new HPC environment.  Students are expected to be conversant with the Linux command line and have experience in creating\, submitting\, and troubleshooting PBS batch scripts.
