This workshop aims to introduce both users of scripting languages and advanced programmers to the Julia ecosystem and explore details about the Julia language which can help produce efficient and readable code. The goal of the workshop is for students to understand where Julia can be applied and be well-equipped to start using Julia in […]
Learn about the use of predictive models in Python through scikit-learn. Python is a popular language for scientific processing and machine learning. This course will introduce general modeling concepts in addition to concrete examples based on the scikit-learn library. Example usage of scikit-learn will illustrate how to fit and evaluate predictive models. Regression and classification […]
This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of the R language and its applications to data analysis. In this course, you will learn how to program in R and how to effectively use R for data analysis. The course covers an introduction to data/object types in R, reading data, creating data visualizations, accessing and […]
This course builds on our Introduction to R by teaching advanced visualization and performance code. In this course, you will cover advanced visualization including ggplot and R Shiny. In addition to visualizations, the latter half of the course will include methods for speeding up R code. If time permits, data wrangling and version control will […]

Data collected in time and/or space exhibit unique properties that require attention to draw proper conclusions from statistical analyses. In this workshop, students are introduced to statistical concepts that are particularly useful for analyzing spatial-temporal data. Using R and Python, students will learn the basic mathematics of spatial-temporal analysis via hands-on exercises, and will put […]
