Python Data Visualization: Parts 1-2
October 1, 2024, 9:00am to October 3, 2024, 11:00am
For this workshop, we’ll provide an introduction to visualization with Python. We’ll cover visualization theory and plotting with Matplotlib and Seaborn, working through examples in a Jupyter notebook.
R Data Wrangling and Manipulation: Parts 1-2
October 1, 2024, 1:00pm to 3:00pm
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.
Python Fundamentals: Parts 4-6
October 1, 2024, 2:00pm to October 8, 2024, 4:00pm
This three-part interactive workshop series teaches you intermediate programming Python for people with previous programming experience equivalent to our Python Fundamentals workshop.
Excel Data Analysis: Introduction
October 2, 2024, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
This is a three-hour introductory workshop that will provide an overview of Excel, with no prior experience assumed. Attendees will learn how to use functions for handling data and making calculations, how to build charts and pivot tables, and more.
Excel Data Analysis: Charts, Pivot Tables, and VLOOKUP
October 7, 2024, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
This three-hour workshop will cover charts in more detail, review pivot tables, and the widely-used VLOOKUP function. We recommend first taking the introductory workshop Excel Data Analysis: Introduction.
Stata Fundamentals: Parts 1-3
October 8, 2024, 2:00pm to October 15, 2024, 5:00pm
This workshop is a three-part introductory series that will teach you Stata from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the Stata software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and and more.
R Fundamentals: Parts 1-4
October 8, 2024, 5:00pm to October 17, 2024, 7:00pm
This workshop is a four-part introductory series that will teach you R from scratch with clear introductions, concise examples, and support documents. You will learn how to download and install the open-sourced R Studio software, understand data and basic manipulations, import and more.
Python Data Wrangling and Manipulation with Pandas
October 10, 2024, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
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.
R Machine Learning with tidymodels: Parts 1-2
October 14, 2024, 1:00pm to October 16, 2024, 3:00pm
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.
R Geospatial Fundamentals: Parts 1-3
October 14, 2024, 2:00pm to October 21, 2024, 4:00pm
Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The R programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research.
Python Fundamentals: Parts 1-3
October 14, 2024, 5:00pm to October 21, 2024, 7:00pm
This three-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.
Institutional Review Board (IRB) Fundamentals
October 17, 2024, 3:00pm to 5:00pm
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.
Python Web APIs
October 22, 2024, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
In this workshop, we cover how to extract data from the web with APIs using Python. APIs are often official services offered by companies and other entities, which allow you to directly query their servers in order to retrieve their data.
Python Web Scraping
October 24, 2024, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
In this workshop, we cover how to scrape data from the web using Python. Web scraping involves downloading a webpage’s source code and sifting through the material to extract desired data.
