R Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

October 6, 2021, 11:00am
This workshop is a four-part introductory series that will teach you R from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the open-sourced R Studio software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and subset data, explore and visualize data, and understand the basics of automation in the form of loops and functions. After completion of this workshop you will have a foundational understanding to create, organize, and utilize workflows for your personal research.

Python Machine Learning for Data Science Discovery

March 22, 2023, 7:00pm
Overview of Machine learning, Methods of Linear Regression, Logistic Regression (Classification), and Data Preprocessing. The workshop will consist of a live coding demo with a live question-answer session.

Python Introduction to Machine Learning: Parts 1-2

November 8, 2021, 9:00am
This workshop introduces students to scikit-learn, the popular machine learning library in Python, as well as the auto-ML library built on top of scikit-learn, TPOT. The focus will be on scikit-learn syntax and available tools to apply machine learning algorithms to datasets. No theory instruction will be provided.

Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas

September 28, 2022, 3:00pm
Pandas is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with 'relational' or 'labeled' data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. In this workshop, we'll work with example data and go through the various steps you might need to prepare data for analysis.
