SUMMARY:Back to a Future: Asynchronous Computing with futures in R
DESCRIPTION:Asynchronous computing is an umbrella term encompassing parallel and concurrent computational programs in which some tasks can be executed without a strict sequential order.  A future is a programming abstraction for a value that may be available at some future point in time and allows.  Like other forms of parallelism\, futures are a powerful tool for writing programs that efficiently make use of available computing resources.  At the same time\, futures can also be used to make interactive data analyses more time efficient.  \n In this workshop\, we’ll discuss futures as implemented in the R package “future” and provide example use cases for both interactive analysis and batch processing.

SUMMARY:Mediation Models: A demonstration using multiple packages
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nFortunately there are a variety of packages in R that can do mediation analysis\, often using straightforward code and familiar models or other tools.  This presentation will demonstrate a variety of ways in which to do a standard mediation model in R (and Python)\, and discuss the available complexities that can be handled with the tools\, as well as their corresponding strengths and weaknesses.\n\nNote that this is not an introduction to mediation analysis\, but is a demonstration of tools.  Some familiarity with R and mediation models will be assumed.
