    • Regression Modeling in Stata

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    In this session, we will discuss fitting traditional regression models in Stata, including linear regression, logistic regression, and time-allowing, poisson regression. We'll briefly introduce the theory behind the models, discuss choosing an appropriate model, fitting the model, checking assumptions and some post-hoc analysis. Participants are expected to have some basic familiarity with Stata.

    Statistical Analysis with R

    Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001A

    This is a two day workshop (February 4 and 5) in R which  is a free and open source environment for data analysis and statistical computing.  While R contains many built-in statistical procedures, a powerful feature of R is the facility for users to extend these procedures to suit their own needs.  Excellent graphing capability […]

    Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    Video game development is more accessible than ever thanks to advanced software tools. Unity3D is one of the most popular game engines available, thanks to its ease of use, support for multiple platforms, and affordable pricing options (including free!). In addition to powering the majority of mobile and independently-developed games, the engine is being used […]

    Generalized estimating equations in Python

    Rackham Building, Earl Lewis Room, 3rd Floor East 915 E. Washington St., Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    GEE is an extension of the generalized linear modeling (GLM) framework for dependent data.  GEE can be used with longitudinal data, clustered data, and other forms of dependent data where a GLM may not be appropriate.  In this workshop we will discuss fitting models using GEE in Python with the Statsmodels package.  We will briefly cover […]
