This workshop will introduce Python and foundational machine learning concepts, utilizing a dataset comprising textual content. Participants will learn the basics of coding in Python, set up a data science environment, and explore key machine learning concepts applied to text data. No prior experience with Python or machine learning is required. This is a virtual workshop and will be held over Zoom.

Join the Center for Social Science Innovation and the Office of Civil Rights Compliance for a quick introduction to survey accessibility, with a focus on the importance of accessibility in survey research and best practices during survey recruitment, development, and deployment. The workshop will introduce participants to general principles of digital accessibility and use Qualtrics to demonstrate best practices for developing accessible recruitment materials and surveys. The strategies learned from this workshop will be applicable to a range of survey design needs, including for research purposes and for distributing general feedback surveys.

This virtual workshop will introduce packages related to geospatial analysis to design a bivariate map in the R coding environment. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to use geospatial packages in an R workflow to create a publication-quality bivariate map. A bivariate map helps to understand the spatial relationships, correlations, and patterns between two different spatial variables. This is an introductory workshop appropriate for those with only a basic familiarity with R and geospatial analysis. Example code will be provided. This is a virtual workshop and will be held over Zoom.

This workshop provides an applied overview of principles and methods for longitudinal data analysis, with hands-on examples in R. Topics include types of longitudinal data, data manipulation and visualization, statistical methods for longitudinal analysis (including mixed-effects models and structural equation models), longitudinal measurement invariance, handling missing data, and separating within-person and between-person effects. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop with R and RStudio installed for interactive exercises. This workshop is intended for participants with experience using R and RStudio. Prior experience with longitudinal data analysis, though helpful, is not required.

This virtual workshop will introduce how to visualize data in multiple ways using Stata. Various data visualization examples will be demonstrated during the workshop. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to create and edit presentation or publication quality visualizations (e.g., bar graphs, box plots, scatterplots) using Stata code. This is an introductory workshop appropriate for those with only basic familiarity with Stata. Example code will be provided.
