SUMMARY:Spatial Point Process Modelling in R
DESCRIPTION:A BlueJeans link will be sent to all registered participants.\n\nSpatial point process models help us analyze the geometrical pattern of points (events) in space and find application in a variety of fields including image processing\, public health\, forestry\, ecology\, and business. This workshop will provide an introduction to point process models focusing on the conceptual aspects and implementation in R.\n\nThe concepts and techniques transfer naturally to similar problems in 1-D (e.g. events in time). So\, the workshop will also be useful for participants who want to learn about analysis of random events in time.

SUMMARY:Geostatistical Analysis with R
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nGeostatistical approach models spatially correlated continuous random phenomenon for robust estimation and prediction. The approach is common across different fields in applied science where continuous phenomenon is observed at a few locations in space and the task is to estimate it at un-sampled locations. \nWe will use R to explore and develop an understanding of variogram and kriging and how they can be used for robust and unbiased interpolation of data over space. \nThis workshop will be offered remotely via BlueJeans.

SUMMARY:Statistical analysis with missing data in Python
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nMissing data arise in many fields of research\, and a large body of statistical tools has been developed to facilitate statistical analysis in the presence of missing data.  Here we focus mainly on multiple imputation\, which is a broadly-applicable approach for working with missing data. We will illustrate through several case studies how multiple imputation allows certain types of missing data to be rigorously accounted for\, while preserving the flexibility to use a variety of familiar statistical tools to account for other aspects of the data.   The analyses presented in this workshop will be performed in Python using the Statsmodels package. All software tools covered in this workshop are free and open source.

SUMMARY:Mediation analysis in Python
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nMediation analysis is a set of tools for exploring hypotheses about causal pathways\, with a special focus on differentiating “direct” from “mediated” associations between an exposure and an outcome.  Many approaches to mediation analysis are based on regression analysis. In this workshop\, we will cover some of the basic ideas behind regression-based mediation analysis\, and show how this type of analysis can be performed in Python using the Statsmodels package.  All software tools covered in this workshop are free and open source.

SUMMARY:Data Visualization With 3D Graphics Using Unity3D and C#
DESCRIPTION:This session will be held online\, and presenters will be in touch with more information after you register. \n  \nVideo game development is more accessible than ever before thanks to modern software tools\, with many options free to download. These tools are also used to program more “serious” applications that require interactive 3D graphics\, from mobile apps\, virtual and augmented reality\, computer vision and artificial intelligence\, and real-time CGI film production.  \n  \nUnity3D is a powerful and popular game engine for both hobbyist and professional projects\, able to compile a ‘game’ to almost any computer platform\, and free to download for non-commercial use. This workshop will show how you can use it to render data from research projects in a 3D interactive representation for user analysis and demonstration. \n  \nIn this workshop\, we introduce the Unity3D workspace\, and prepare a demo that allows the user to load an example dataset and view it as a simple set of 3D representations. A basic familiarity with any computer programming language (C# will be used during the session) is recommended to get the most out of the workshop. To take part\, users will be responsible to bring their own laptop with Unity3D (available for Windows\, Macintosh and Linux) pre-installed. Additional project files will be provided to registered users ahead of the workshop date.
