Upcoming Workshops, Spring 2023
Introduction to Meta-analysis in Stata, Monday, May 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. PDT via Zoom
Meta-analysis is the synthesis of results from previous studies. It is used to increase power, obtain a better estimate of an effect size, and sometimes to resolve conflicting conclusions in the literature. In this workshop, we will discuss how the data for a meta-analysis are collected and organized, as well as how such data are analyzed and graphed. We will also discuss some of the limitations meta-analysis and what should be included in a meta-analysis for publication.

R Graphics: Introduction to ggplot2, Monday, May 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. PDT via Zoom
This workshop teaches the “grammar” of graphics that underlies the ggplot2 package, allowing the user to build eye-catching, publication-quality graphics layer-by-layer. We cover the basic elements of the grammar of graphics, including aesthetics, geoms, scales, and themes, and we will show you how easy ggplot2 makes it to integrate these elements to make informative and beautiful graphics. The seminar is meant to be interactive with attendees participating in the coding, so some very basic R coding knowledge is helpful but not required.

Introduction to R Programming, Monday, May 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. PDT via Zoom
This workshop is an introduction to R as a programming language. The aim of this workshop is to improve programming skills of R users who have some familiarity with R as a statistical package and would like to extend their R skills. We will talk about how R users can write functions to replace repetitive code and loops to iterate over the same algorithm repeatedly. Coding is essential in statistical computing and analysis, and as researchers sometimes we need to write our own computational code. We will also talk about some functional programming aspects of R so we can make our code more efficient.
