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 […]

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.

This workshop will cover fitting generalized linear models (GLMs) in Python, using the Statsmodels package.  We will cover logistic regression, but the majority of the time we will focus on other GLMs including Poisson, negative binomial, and gamma regression.  We will provide an overview of the underlying foundation for GLMs, focusing on the mean/variance relationship […]

This workshop will cover regression analysis using linear models and least squares in Python.  We will discuss the goals and main use-cases for linear regression, and how to interpret a fitted linear model.  We will then discuss methods for fitting more complex models with larger data sets, including the use of interactions, dummy-coding of categorical […]
