SUMMARY:Introduction to Stata: The Basics of Stata
DESCRIPTION:This is a series of workshops designed to introduce participants to the Stata software. No prior experience with Stata is required. The sections are: \nSection 1: The Basics of Stata – Interacting with Stata and working with data sets. (2/21\, 10:00 -11:30)\nSection 2: Data Management – The basics of maintaining and exploring a data set. (2/23\, 10:00-11:30)\nSection 3: Data Manipulation – Creating and modifying variables and other ways of manipulating your data. (2/25\, 10:00 – 11:30) \nYou do not need to attend all sessions; however\, the sessions build on each other and it will be assumed you are familiar with the material in earlier sessions. The workshop materials can be found at https://cscar.github.io/workshop-stata-intro/ for review. \nIt is strongly encouraged that you have Stata available on your local computer\, though not required. You may access Stata through midesktop (https://midesktop.umich.edu/) if needed.

SUMMARY:Software Development For Research: Best Practices for Coding Styles
DESCRIPTION:Software development and computer programming is increasingly a major part of scientific research. Having a consistent coding style and following basic best practices used in the industry can help make your code easier to read and manage\, both internally in your teams and for public code projects available to other researchers. This workshop will cover some general guidelines and suggestions to clean up your coding style. Attendees will learn helpful tips for computer coding and how to make their code readable to other collaborators. \nThis is part of a series of workshops focused on both technical and soft skills regarding software engineering from a research perspective. \nPlease register at least 48 hours in advance.

SUMMARY:Reading and discussion group: Spatial Analysis in Social Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This reading group moderated by consultants from CSCAR will focus on spatial analysis especially as practiced in social sciences. We will meet for 1.5 to 2 hours every month on the fourth Thursday and discuss one or two chapters from relevant graduate level textbooks. We will focus on the concepts and applications but will also try to discuss the technical details. The format is open-ended\, and the key objective is to support learning at different knowledge and skill levels. If there is interest\, we will also cover software implementation of techniques in R or Python. We will select reading material that is available via U-M library or freely accessible online. \nReadings – We will discuss the following chapters: \n\n(2) Chapter 3: Global and local indicators of spatial association (from Spatial Analysis using Big Data by Yoshiki Yamagata and Hajime Seya) \n\n(3) Chapter 3: Spatial autocorrelation and statistical inference (from Spatial Analysis for Social Science by David Darmofal) \n\nDigital versions of the above two books are available from the UM Library.

SUMMARY:MICDE / AIM Seminar: Blaise Bourdin\, PhD\, Professor of Mathematics & Statistics\, McMaster University
DESCRIPTION:THE SEMINAR WILL ONLY BE OFFERED ONLINE!\nWATCH THE RECORDING HERE. \nBio: Blaise Bourdin is a professor in the department of mathematics and statistics at McMaster University (Hamilton\, ON\, Canada). Dr. Bourdin’s formal training is at the meeting point of solid mechanics\, scientific computing\, and applied mathematics. He borrows techniques for these areas to study problems in mechanical science with a specific focus on problems involving defect mechanics and optimal design. He has cultivated this multi-disciplinary training by revisiting “classical” problems with more advanced technical tools\, by skewing my theoretical work towards problems of particular relevance to engineering and science\, and by using investigative numerical simulations as a modeling tool in complex multi-scale problems. \nDr. Bourdin’s research focusses on modeling\, analysis\, and numerical implementations of problems arising in reservoir engineering\, defect mechanics\, optimal design\, and image processing. He is the recipient of multiple research grants from the National Science Foundation\, the Louisiana Board of Regents and industry\, totalling over $6M. He has written several high impact publications\, including three ESI highly cited papers in two disciplines (mathematics and engineering). He also maintains several open source software projects. \nVariational and phase-field models of brittle fracture: Past successes and current issues\nIn this talk Dr. Bourdin will start with a modern interpretation of Griffith’s classical criterion as a variational principle for a free discontinuity energy and will recall some of the milestones in its analysis. Then he will introduce the phase-field approximation per se and describe its numerical implementation. He will illustrate how phase-field models have led to major breakthroughs in the predictive simulation of fracture in complex situations. He will show how this applies to current issues\, including crack nucleation in nominally brittle materials\, fracture of heterogeneous materials\, and inverse problems.\n\n\n\n  \nThe MICDE Winter 2022 Seminar Series is open to all. University of Michigan faculty and students interested in computational and data sciences are encouraged to attend. \nThis seminar is cohosted by the Michigan Institute for Computational Discovery (MICDE) and the Applied & Interdisciplinary Mathematics program at the University of Michigan. Dr. Bourdin will be hosted by Dr. Selim Esedoglu\, Professor of Mathematics. \nThis is a hybrid event and will be held in-person and broadcasted online via Zoom. Join here.  \nQuestions?
