Genomics for Ecological and Evolutionary Studies with Giulio Formenti, Vertebrate Genome Lab, The Rockefeller University

Event

[highlight=transparent]This introductory workshop shows how to effectively use genomic approaches in ecological and evolutionary studies, offering participants both theoretical foundations and practical skills in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics. Led by experts Prof. Giulio Formenti and Dr....

Gaussian Processes with PyMC and LLMs with Chris Fonnesbeck, PyMC Labs and Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Event

Gaussian Processes are incredibly useful for modeling messy, real-world data where traditional regression methods typically fail. They do this by modeling unknown functions with calibrated estimates of uncertainty, excelling on small-to-medium sized datasets, with messy or seasonal trends, and...

Analyzing Complex Survey Data with Brady West, Survey Research Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan

Event

This practical, hands-on seminar teaches researchers how to analyze complex sample survey data by correctly accounting for stratification, clustering, multi-stage sampling, and weighting to produce valid estimates, variances, tests, and inferences. Through guided exercises in R (RStudio), SAS,...

Introduction to Machine Learning with Centre for Applied Statistics Courses (CASC), University College London

Event

This seminar trains PhD students, professors and other professionals to apply machine learning rigorously in several fields by grounding modern algorithms in statistical principles—covering supervised and unsupervised methods, model building, performance assessment, uncertainty quantification and...

Nonlinear Structural Equation Modeling with Holmes Finch, Department of Educational Psychology - Ball State University

Event

This seminar provides researchers with the theoretical framework and hands-on implementation needed to specify, estimate, and interpret complex nonlinear relationships among latent variables in R and Mplus. The nonlinear effects include latent variable interactions, quadratic relationships among...
