R: Markdown

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

In this hands-on Zoom workshop you will learn how to blend your research writing, programming, and output into a single word processing style document using the R Markdown language in RStudio. This style of work is known as Reproducible Research since every phase of the analysis can be recreated by “knitting” a single document. The output document can be HTML with an interactive table of contents, or Word or PDF formats. While we will be using it with the R language, Markdown commands apply to many other languages such as Python and SAS. A recommended prerequisite for this course is the R-Basics workshop. It takes approximately 2 hours to complete this workshop.

Research: Geographic Weighted Regression (Special Topic)

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

"Geographically weighted regression GWR is a spatial analysis technique that takes non-stationary variables into consideration and adds a level of modeling sophistication by allowing the relationships between the independent and dependent variables to vary by locality. This workshop will introduce GWR, both conceptually and statistically, and will demonstrate its use in both simulated and real datasets. Several features of GWR will also be explored and ArcGIS Pro will be used to introduce these concepts. It will be assumed that participants will be familiar with regression but no knowledge of GWR will be assumed. This special topic workshop is an advanced topic only offered once. "

Research: Introduction to Exploratory Factor Analysis (Special Topic)

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

Exploratory Factor Analysis is a method used to reduce a large number observed variables into a smaller number factors. These factors often represent unobservable or latent measures that are typically viewed as broad concepts that may measure an observed phenomenon such as anxiety, satisfaction, depression, etc. For social scientists, these latent factors are often of more interest than the individual variables. This workshop will cover how to run a EFA, interpret the factor loadings, compare the different rotation methods and provide guidelines on determining the best factor structure. This special topic workshop is an advanced topic only offered once.

Research: Logistic Regression Interpretation and Reporting (Special Topic)

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

Logistic regression is the appropriate regression analysis to conduct when the dependent variable is dichotomous (binary). Although it is a widely used analysis in many fields, including economics, sociology, politcal science, education, and public health, interpretation and reporting of logistic regression results can be challenging. This workshops provides an overview of logistic regression output and explains odds rations, predicted probabilities, and average marginal effects to communicate results. This special topic workshop is an advanced topic only offered once.

This is an researcher focused workshop.

Research: Advanced Regression Techniques (Special Topic)

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

In this workshop we will discuss recent advances in regression techniques which allow for modeling data when ordinary least squares regression assumptions are violated. Topics will include quantile, robust, and ridge regression. How to correct for heteroscedasticity using robust standard errors will also be addressed. Model interpretation, limitations, and appropriate use cases for each will be discussed. Participants should have prior regression analysis experience. Examples will be performed using SAS.

This is an researcher focused workshop.

Research: Mediated Multilevel Regression Models (Special Topic)

Sorry, there are no scheduled times for this workshop. Contact us for more info.

A mediated regression is one in which the relationship between the independent and dependent variables is partially or totally due to the action of a third intervening variable. In this workshop we will extend the idea of mediated regression to multilevel models, models made up of variables from more than one level of aggregation, e.g. students within classrooms, etc. A working knowledge of basic mediated regression and multilevel modeling is desirable. This special topic workshop is an advanced topic only offered once.

This is an researcher focused workshop.
