  • Data Entry, Exploration, & Analysis in SPSS at UC Online

    5 - 6 March 2025

    Data Entry, Exploration, & Analysis in SPSS at UC Online https://dresa.org.au/events/data-entry-exploration-analysis-in-spss-at-uc-online This hands-on training is designed to familiarize you with the interface and basic data processing functionalities in SPSS. We will examine several “must know” syntax commands that can help streamline data entry and processing. In addition, we will explore how to obtain descriptive statistics in SPSS and perform visualization. This workshop is recommended for researchers and postgraduate students who are new to SPSS or Statistics; or those simply looking for a refresher course before taking a deep dive into using SPSS, either to apply it to their research or to add it to their arsenal of eResearch skills. #### You'll learn: - Navigate SPSS Variable and Data views. - Create and describe data from scratch. - Import Data from Excel. - Familiarise yourself with exploratory data analysis (EDA), including: - Understand variable types, identity missing data and outliers. - Visualise data in graphs and tables. - Compose SPSS Syntax to repeat and store analysis steps. - Generate a report testing assumptions of statistical tests. - Additional exercises: - Check assumptions for common statistical tests. - Make stunning plots. #### Prerequisites: In order to participate, attendees must have a licensed copy of SPSS installed on their computer. Speak to your local university IT or Research Office for assistance in obtaining a license and installing the software.

  • Excel for Researchers at LTU Online

    5 - 6 March 2025

    Excel for Researchers at LTU Online https://dresa.org.au/events/excel-for-researchers-at-ltu-online-6b1488ae-1712-4b93-9bdb-94ddfc8cdb94 Data rarely comes in the form you require. Often it is messy. Sometimes it is incomplete. And sometimes there’s too much of it. Frequently, it has errors. We’ll use one of the most widespread data wrangling tools, Microsoft Excel, to import, sort, filter, copy, protect, transform, summarise, merge, and visualise research data. While aimed at novice Excel users, most attendees will walk away with new tricks to work more efficiently with their research data. #### You'll learn: ‘Clean up’ messy research data Organise, format and name your data Interpret your data (SORTING, FILTERING, CONDITIONAL FORMATTING) Perform calculations on your data using functions (MAX, MIN, AVERAGE) Extract significant findings from your data (PIVOT TABLE, VLOOKUP) Manipulate your data (convert data format, work with DATES and TIMES) Create graphs and charts to visualise your data (CHARTS) Handy tips to speed up your work #### Prerequisites: In order to participate, attendees must have a licensed copy of Microsoft Excel installed on their computer. Speak to your local university IT or Research Office for assistance in obtaining a license and installing the software.   For more information, please click [here](https://intersect.org.au/training/course/excel101). 2025-03-05 10:00:00 UTC 2025-03-06 13:00:00 UTC Intersect Australia Australia Australia Intersect Australia training@intersect.org.au [] [] [] host_institution []

  • Learn to Program: Python at UTS Online

    6 - 7 March 2025

    Learn to Program: Python at UTS Online https://dresa.org.au/events/learn-to-program-python-at-uts-online-d0b18f86-c90c-4b66-a18c-8d5f17be86f1 Python has deservedly become a popular language for scientific computing. It has all the friendly features and conveniences you’d expect of a modern programming language, and also a rich set of libraries for working with data. We teach using Jupyter notebooks, which allow program code, results, visualisations and documentation to be blended seamlessly. Perfect for sharing insights with others while producing reproducible research. Join us for this live coding workshop where we write programs that produce results, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation. #### You'll learn: Introduction to the JupyterLab interface for programming Basic syntax and data types in Python How to load external data into Python Creating functions (FUNCTIONS) Repeating actions and analysing multiple data sets (LOOPS) Making choices (IF STATEMENTS – CONDITIONALS) Ways to visualise data in Python #### Prerequisites: No prior experience with programming is needed to attend this course. We strongly recommend attending the Start Coding without Hesitation: Programming Languages Showdown and Thinking like a computer: The Fundamentals of Programming webinars. Recordings of previously delivered webinars can be found [here](https://intersect.org.au/training/webinars/).
