SUMMARY:2-day Scientific Computing with R Workshop 3/4-5
DESCRIPTION:This 2-day intensive workshop is designed to provide foundational concepts that all programming depends on\, using the R statistical computing platform as an example. There are no prerequisites and the workshop is designed for computer users from beginners to advanced. \n \nThursday & Friday\, March 4-5\, 2021 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM Course Hours\, Both Days \nREGISTER NOW\nInstructors will lead a comprehensive\, hands-on overview of what is possible with R\, how to use R-studio and the R command line\, and the integration of version control into an analytical workflow\, all using an example dataset. Go from reading data into R to data types\, functions\, conditional statements\, loops\, inline documentation\, as well as best practices for writing R code that others can understand and use. \nThe goal of this workshop is to bring you up to speed with data analysis\, and it would be incomplete without command line computing and version control. Understanding the shell for command line computing is important in building reproducible data analysis pipelines where your R scripts may be just one component. Git for version control is an incredibly useful tool for collaboration and management of your coding projects. \nThis workshop will also provide you with the basic computing skills and best practices needed to be productive in a small research team. The format is a mixture of short seminars and hands-on practical exercises\, and participants are encouraged to help one another\, and to try applying what they have learned to their own research problems during and between sessions. \nThe syllabus is available now\, offering preparation instructions. \nInstructors:  Tim Norris\, PhD\, Data Scientist |   Cameron Riopelle\, PhD\, Data Services Librarian\nHelpers: Thilani Samarakoon\, James Sobczak \nThis event is free and open to UM Faculty\, Staff\, and Students. \n

SUMMARY:PyData Miami Conference—POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:#PyDataMiami2020 has been postponed. PyData is a 2-day conference on tools and techniques for machine learning\, data analysis\, visualization\, and large-scale data infrastructure. We are an accessible\, community-driven conference with talks and tutorials for all skill levels: students\, practitioners\, and researchers. PyData focuses on open-source computational tools for the Python programming language (such as NumPy\, Pandas\, and scikit-learn)\, as well as implementation-agnostic techniques\, and other high level numerical languages\, such as R and Julia. \n\nTickets\n  \nDiversity Scholarships\nOne of PyData’s goals is to increase awareness and excitement around opportunities for underrepresented groups in software engineering and data analytics. To increase diversity in scientific computing\, our outreach program ranges from hosting workshops that introduce programming to young women to encouraging diversity in speakers at PyData. \nFor PyData Miami 2020\, we are offering scholarship opportunities to those from underrepresented groups who may otherwise be unable to attend the conference. \nPlease note scholarships do not cover travel and lodging costs. Click HERE to submit an application. \n  \nAbout PyData\nPyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The global PyData network promotes discussion of best practices\, new approaches\, and emerging technologies for data management\, processing\, analytics\, and visualization. PyData communities approach data science using many languages\, including (but not limited to) Python\, Julia\, and R.  We aim to be an accessible\, community-driven conference\, with novice to advanced level presentations. PyData tutorials and talks bring attendees the latest project features along with cutting-edge use cases. \n  \nApril 23-24\, 2020\n \n  \n  \nWATSCO CENTER\nUniversity of Miami Coral Gables Campus\nFieldhouse / Multipurpose Room\n1245 Dauer Drive\, Coral Gables\, FL 33146 \nMap  &  Directions \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
