Date: Thursday, January 16th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Rogier Kievit is Professor of Developmental Neuroscience at the Donders Institute in Nijmegen, where he leads the Lifespan Cognitive Dynamics Lab (https://lifespancognitivedynamics.com/). He studies changes in cognitive abilities across the lifespan using multivariate techniques including factor analysis, growth curve models, mixture models and timeseries analysis.

Title: Satellite mapping of surface waters in R

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

Speaker: Lawrence Vulis is a senior hazard scientist at CoreLogic working on modelling climate impacts to natural hazards and property risk. He regularly works with statistical methods, numerical modelling, and geographic information systems (GIS) to interrogate natural hazard, property/building, and climate data. His background is in hydrology and geomorphology, with prior experience in the satellite imagery based monitoring and classification of coastal landscapes and surface water systems such as beaches, river deltas, and lakes.

Description: Surface waters such as rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs are an important source of freshwater and economic activity. Mapping such waters and their seasonal changes is crucial for understanding water resource availability or geomorphic activity. This workshop focuses on the interrogation of optical and multispectral satellite imagery for surface water mapping using R. We will examine different types of satellite imagery and how to extract surface water features. It is recommended but not required to have some basics in understanding geographic information systems (GIS) topics, image processing, and possibly some background in hydrology, geography, or earth science.

Understanding Difference-in-Differences: Basics and Beyond with Applications in R workshop

Join our workshop on Understanding Difference-in-Differences: Basics and Beyond with Applications in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title:  Understanding Difference-in-Differences: Basics and Beyond with Applications in R

Date: Thursday, November 21st, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Tobias Eibinger is a final-year PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Graz, Austria. His research focuses on causal environmental policy evaluation, particularly focusing on transport policies and their impact on emission reductions. He specializes in advanced econometric techniques, including Difference-in-Differences, time-series analysis, and macropanels. He has spent time at the Central European University (CEU) in Vienna and the Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam to deepen and apply his knowledge in causal identification. His work emphasizes the practical application of these methods to analyze real-world policy effects and to inform policy recommendations.

Description: This workshop provides a solid introduction to Difference-in-Differences (DiD), covering both the foundational concepts and more advanced techniques needed to address common challenges in applied research. We begin by exploring canonical DiD and two-way fixed effects (TWFE) as a starting point. We then move on to more complex scenarios like staggered adoption and multiple treatments. We discuss the limitations of traditional DiD, particularly the issue of forbidden comparisons, and introduce the Goodman-Bacon (2021) decomposition to break down treatment effects. Dynamic settings are then covered through event studies, allowing us to examine how effects evolve over time. Finally, we discuss modern remedies such as the Callaway and Sant’Anna (2021) approach to better handle heterogeneous treatment timings. Throughout, participants will follow detailed R examples to apply these methods hands-on, gaining practical experience alongside the theoretical insights.

Spatial modelling with GAMs in R workshop

Join our workshop on Spatial modelling with GAMs in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Spatial modelling with GAMs in R

Date: Thursday, October 31st, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 

Speaker: Sophie Lee is a statistician and educator who teaches a range of statistics and R coding courses to non-statisticians. Her goal is to provide accessible, engaging training to prove that statistics does not need to be scary! She has a PhD in Spatio-temporal Epidemiology from LSHTM and is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Her research interests lie in spatial data analysis, planetary health, and Bayesian modelling.

Description: When modelling spatial data we are generally unable to use traditional modelling approaches, such as generalised linear models (GLMs), as the assumption that observations are independent of one another may be invalid. This is due to underlying similarities, including unobservable behaviours, climate, and other characteristics, that are shared between observations close to one another. There are extensions of GLMs that can be used to overcome this lack of independence between observations, often with the inclusion of structured random effects, that try to take account of the underlying spatial relationships. The issue arises when deciding how to structure these spatial random effects: how close is close enough to consider observations no longer independent?

This workshop introduces generalised additive models (GAMs) as a method for generating the underlying spatial structure needed to define spatially structured random effects. We will see how penalised smoothing splines can be applied to coordinates to generate a spatial plane with minimal user assumptions. This ensures the spatial model is relevant and unique to the setting being studied. Using the mgcv package in R, we will apply this approach to real-world data, incorporating the flexible spatial structure into a random effects model, which then can be interpreted similarly to any other spatial model.

Analyzing Time Series at Scale with Cluster Analysis in R workshop

Join our workshop on Analyzing Time Series at Scale with Cluster Analysis in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Analyzing Time Series at Scale with Cluster Analysis in R

Date: Thursday, October 17th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 

Speaker: Rami Krispin is a data science and engineering manager who mainly focuses on time series analysis, forecasting, and MLOps applications.

He is passionate about open source, working with data, machine learning, and putting stuff into production. He creates content about MLOps and recently released a course – Data Pipeline Automation with GitHub Actions Using R and Python, on LinkedIn Learning, and is the author of Hands-On Time Series Analysis with R.

Description: One of the challenges in traditional time series analysis is scalability. Most of the analysis methods were designed to handle a single time series at a time. In this workshop, we will explore methods for analyzing time series at scale. We will demonstrate how to apply unsupervised methods such as cluster analysis and PCA to analyze and extract insights from multiple time series simultaneously. This workshop is based on Prof. Rob J Hyndman’s paper about feature-based time series analysis.

Probabilistic Network Inference and Analysis in R and Python workshop

Join our workshop on Probabilistic Network Inference and Analysis in R and Python, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Probabilistic Network Inference and Analysis in R and Python

Date: Thursday, October 3rd, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 

Speaker: Guillermo de Anda Jáuregui is a Mexican researcher at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine. His work focuses on using complex systems and data science to address biomedical and public health questions. Guillermo is a member of the Researchers for Mexico program, the National Researcher System, and a collaborator at the Center for Complexity Sciences at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. With a strong interdisciplinary approach, his research bridges the gap between data science and complex biological phenomena.


Description: Complex systems with many interacting elements often exhibit non-trivial patterns of statistical dependencies. Modeling these systems as complex networks provides a powerful framework to characterize them at macro, meso, and microscale levels. In this workshop, we will explore the fundamentals of reconstructing such networks, analyze the significance of different structures, and apply these concepts to the use case of gene regulation. Participants will gain hands-on experience in understanding and comparing network structures and learn how these models can be used to uncover the dynamics of complex systems.
