Title: Conducting Simulation Studies in R

Date: Thursday, May 23rd, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Greg Faletto is a statistician and data scientist at VideoAmp, where he works on causal inference. Greg completed his Ph.D. in statistics at the University of Southern California in 2023. His research focused on developing machine learning methods has been published in venues like the International Conference on Machine Learning and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Greg has taught classes at USC on data science and communicating insights from data, and he has previously presented his research and led workshops at venues including USC, the University of California San Francisco, the University of Copenhagen, Data Con LA, and IM Data Conference.

Description: In simulation studies (also known as Monte Carlo simulations or synthetic data experiments), we generate data sets according to a prespecified model, perform some calculations on each data set, and analyze the results. Simulation studies are useful for testing whether a methodology will work in a given setting, assessing whether a model “works” and diagnosing problems, evaluating theoretical claims, and more. In this workshop, I’ll walk through how you can use the R simulator package to conduct simple, reproducible simulation studies. You’ll learn how to carry out the full process, including making plots or tables of your results.


Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)



How can I register?





If you are not personally interested in attending, you can also contribute by sponsoring a participation of a student, who will then be able to participate for free. If you choose to sponsor a student, all proceeds will also go directly to organisations working in Ukraine. You can either sponsor a particular student or you can leave it up to us so that we can allocate the sponsored place to students who have signed up for the waiting list.


How can I sponsor a student?





If you are a university student and cannot afford the registration fee, you can also sign up for the waiting list here. (Note that you are not guaranteed to participate by signing up for the waiting list).



You can also find more information about this workshop series,  a schedule of our future workshops as well as a list of our past workshops which you can get the recordings & materials here.


Looking forward to seeing you during the workshop!
