SUMMARY:Introduction to Data Analysis with R
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis course provides a brief introduction to the fundamentals of the R language and focuses on its use for data analysis–including exploratory data analysis\, linear and logistic regression\, variable selection\, model diagnostics\, and prediction. \nSyllabus \n\nFundamentals of R & RStudio: the basics–including objects\, subsetting\, indexing\, data I/O\, and control structures\nExploratory Data Analysis: all the necessary tools to investigate your data before performing any formal modeling–from summary statistics to visualization including plotting histograms\, boxplots\, and scatterplots\nLinear Regression: everything you need to know to begin fitting linear models–from simple t-tests to estimation of regression coefficients\, variable selection\, and prediction\nLogistic Regression: the basics of generalized linear models (GLMs) with an emphasis on binary response data–we extend the theory and modeling strategies of linear regression

SUMMARY:Data Exploration and Visualization using R and ggplot2
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n\n\n*Time:* June 22 (Monday) 10AM-12PM\, 1PM-3PM\, 4PM-5PM (Participants are registered for all three sessions.) \n*Name:* Data Exploration and Visualization using R and ggplot2 \n(Zoom meeting link will be emailed to registered attendees two days prior to the event.) \n*Description:* This course is intended to help people with basic experience using R take their first steps on a data analysis. We provide a quick overview of introductory R programming\, then focus on using R and ggplot2 for data exploration and visualization. Note: planned topics for each session may change as time constraints dictate. \n*Syllabus:* \n*10AM-12PM session:* \n* R and RStudio basics: data types\, subsetting\, reading/writing data\, loops and functions. \n* Basic data exploration and plotting in base R: summaries\, tables\, plotting different types of data. \n*1PM-3PM Session:* \n* Introduction to ggplot2 and the “grammar of graphics:” understanding the logic of ggplot2\, preparing and plotting data. \n* Beyond ggplot2 basics: overlaying geoms\, visualizing strata for comparison\, changing default plot options. \n*4PM-5PM session:* \n* Example: making a choropleth map in ggplot2. \n****FOR SPECIFIC COURSE CONTENT QUESTIONS\, PLEASE CONTACT COURSE INSTRUCTOR ARNIE SEONG: akseong@uci.edu *****

SUMMARY:Experimental Design - The Key to Reliable & Reproducible Science
DESCRIPTION:Who should attend? \nAnyone interested in designing\, conducting\, or analyzing (controlled) experiments to answer scientific questions involving group comparisons. \nDescription: \nObtaining reliable and reproducible estimates of a “treatment” effect and drawing conclusions in any scientific context hinges on sound study design. No statistical analysis can salvage a poorly designed study. Before rushing to pick the “ideal” statistical analysis\, we must think about the scientific objective and aims and ask: what is the scientific question of interest? \nThen we will examine how and why the design of a study can greatly impact the reliability of results and the conclusions we can draw from any data analysis. How we design a study and collect data will determine the generalizability of results\, including whether reproducing findings in future studies would be a reasonable endeavor. To this end\, the overall goal of this short course is two-fold: (1) to introduce and motivate experimental design\, and (2) to explore the utility and appropriateness of different types of experimental designs\, including clinical trials\, to address a given scientific question of interest. \nThis short course is geared towards individuals who are interested in designing\, conducting\, or analyzing (controlled) experiments to answer scientific questions involving group comparisons (e.g.\, difference in means between two groups). While familiarity with analytic approaches to compare means between two groups (t-test)\, more than two groups (analysis of variance\, ANOVA)\, and many more than two groups (linear regression) can be helpful\, the intention of this course is not to delve into statistical theory. Instead\, the focus will be to explain core concepts of study design\, highlighting the scientific and statistical considerations that should be discussed among all collaborators (including the statistician)\, ideally at the earliest stage of a project before data has been collected. \nThis short course will be divided into three sessions:\n10AM-Noon\, 1PM-3PM\, 4PM-5PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Online Now!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor Bio: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNavneet Hakhu is a second year Statistics PhD student at UCI working alongside advisors Drs. Daniel Gillen (Statistics) and Joshua Grill (Psychiatry & Human Behavior; Neurobiology & Behavior) on statistical methods with applications to Alzheimer’s disease research. Prior to enrolling in the UCI Statistics program\, Navneet worked as an associate specialist at UCI MIND (Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders) with Drs. Gillen and Grill. Before rejoining academia in 2018\, Navneet served primarily as an independent statistician at Axio Research in Seattle\, Washington for over 3.5 years where he supported 29 phase 2 to 4 clinical trials and participated in 74 Data Monitoring Committee meetings. Navneet holds an MS degree in Biostatistics from the University of Washington.
