R by Example: Analyzing RECS using data.table

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

In the R by Example series of workshops, we’ll discuss example analyses in R as a vehicle for learning  commonly used tools and programming patterns.  The “Analyzing RECS using data.table” workshop will focus on analyzing winter home temperatures in the US using data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/).  We’ll use the data.table package for data manipulations […]

R by Example: Analyzing RECS using tidyverse

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

In the R by Example series of workshops, we’ll discuss example analyses in R as a vehicle for learning  commonly used tools and programming patterns.  The “Analyzing RECS using tidyverse” workshop will focus on analyzing winter home temperatures in the US using data from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/).  We’ll use the tidyverse (tidyverse.org) throughout, relying on […]

R I: Data Wrangling

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

This workshop will delve into common data processing and exploration techniques using R.  The main focus will be on constructing and manipulating R data objects, and using packages that enhance and facilitate operations that typically arise when dealing with data, including faster I/O, variable creation and manipulation, and grouped operations, especially as a prelude to […]

Introduction to the Linux Command Line

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

This course will familiarize the student with the basics of accessing and interacting with Linux computers using the GNU/Linux operating system’s Bash shell, also generically referred to as “the command line”. Topics include: a brief overview of Linux, the Bash shell, navigating the file system, basic commands, shell redirection, permissions, processes, and the command environment. […]

Data management in R with data.table

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

Matt Dowle, author of the data.table package, describes it as, “provid a high-performance version of base R's data.frame with syntax and feature enhancements for ease of use, convenience and programming speed.” In this workshop I will first introduce the data.table syntax using generic SQL and the dplyr R package as reference points.  Topics to be discussed include subsetting, aggregating, and merging data frames.  I will […]

Research Computing on the Great Lakes cluster

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

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. There are many […]

Spatial point process models

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

This is the first workshop in a series of three workshops that will cover spatial modeling of three broad classes of data: (i) spatial point pattern, (ii) discrete spatial variation on areal units, and (iii) continuous spatial variation. Spatial point (and marked point) process models help us analyze the geometrical pattern of points in space […]

Introduction to SPSS

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

Audience: Never before SPSS users who will be using SPSS for Windows.  Those using SPSS for Unix or Macintosh should email the instructor at [email protected] before enrolling. Note: Topic order is subject to change.  Participants must sign up for the entire series. Fundamentals This portion introduces SPSS for Windows, the menu and the help systems, the three […]

Geospatial analysis with Google Earth Engine

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

Google Earth Engine (GEE) combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities. This workshop will provide an introduction to GEE. We will cover data models in GEE, basic vector and raster operations, and classification in both feature and image space. You should be familiar with vector and raster data, […]

Intro to Natural Language Processing with Python

Modern Languages Building (MLB), Room 2001B

This workshop will provide a quick overview of natural language processing using Python. We’ll cover the basics. Segmenting text into tokens, assigning part-of-speech, assigning dependency labels, detecting and labeling named-entities. We’ll also cover sentiment analysis, topic modelling and maybe some visualizations. The workshop will be conducted in Python and is intended for users with basic […]
