R Data Wrangling and Manipulation: Parts 1-2

November 1, 2022, 2:00pm to November 3, 2022, 5:00pm

It is said that 80% of data analysis is spent on the process of cleaning and preparing the data for exploration, visualization, and analysis. This R workshop will introduce the dplyr and tidyr packages to make data wrangling and manipulation easier.

Finding Health Statistics and Data

November 2, 2022, 1:00pm to 2:30pm

Participants in this workshop will learn about some of the issues surrounding the collection of health statistics, and will also learn about authoritative sources of health statistics and data.

Python Web Scraping & APIs

November 2, 2022, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

In this workshop, we cover how to extract data from the web using Python. We focus on two approaches to extracting data from the web: leveraging application programming interfaces (APIs) and web scraping.

Python Fundamentals: Parts 1-4

November 7, 2022, 11:00am to November 16, 2022, 2:00pm

This four-part, interactive workshop series is your complete introduction to programming Python for people with little or no previous programming experience. By the end of the series, you will be able to apply your knowledge of basic principles of programming and data manipulation to a real-world social science application.

Institutional Review Board (IRB) Fundamentals

November 7, 2022, 12:00pm to 3:00pm

Are you starting a research project at UC Berkeley that involves human subjects? If so, one of the first steps you will need to take is getting IRB approval.

R Data Visualization

November 7, 2022, 2:00pm to 5:00pm

This workshop will provide an introduction to graphics in R with ggplot2. Participants will learn how to construct, customize, and export a variety of plot types in order to visualize relationships in data.

Python Geospatial Data and Mapping: Parts 1-2

November 8, 2022, 2:00pm to November 10, 2022, 5:00pm

Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The Python programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research.

Python Machine Learning Fundamentals: Parts 1-2

November 14, 2022, 4:00pm to November 16, 2022, 7:00pm

This workshop introduces students to scikit-learn, the popular machine learning library in Python, as well as the auto-ML library built on top of scikit-learn, TPOT. The focus will be on scikit-learn syntax and available tools to apply machine learning algorithms to datasets.

MaxQDA: Introduction

November 15, 2022, 10:00am to 12:00pm

This two-hour introductory workshop will teach you MaxQDA from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the MaxQDA software, upload multiple forms of data then how to use manual and autocode features.

Python Text Analysis: Topic Modeling

November 15, 2022, 12:00pm to 3:00pm

In this part, we study unsupervised learning of text data. This is a stand alone work that builds from the two-part text analysis series.

Python Text Analysis: Word Embeddings

November 17, 2022, 12:00pm to 3:00pm

How can we use neural networks to create meaningful representations of words? The bag-of-words is limited in its ability to characterize text, because it does not utilize word context.

R Machine Learning with tidymodels: Parts 1-2

November 29, 2022, 10:00am to December 1, 2022, 1:00pm

Machine learning often evokes images of Skynet, self-driving cars, and computerized homes. However, these ideas are less science fiction as they are tangible phenomena that are predicated on description, classification, prediction, and pattern recognition in data.

Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas

November 29, 2022, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

Pandas is a Python package that provides fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with ‘relational’ or ‘labeled’ data both easy and intuitive. It enables doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.

Python Visualization
