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.


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

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 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.

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.

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.

Introduction to Interpretable Machine Learning in R

Join our workshop on Introduction to Interpretable Machine Learning in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Introduction to Interpretable Machine Learning in R

Date: Thursday, October 10th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone) 

Speaker: Andreas Hofheinz, Andreas is a Data Analytics Consultant at Munich Re, holding a master’s degree in statistics from LMU Munich. In his role, he focuses on designing, implementing, and managing data analytics and AI use cases across the company, as well as delivering international Data & AI training sessions. Before joining Munich Re, Andreas worked in consulting, primarily on digital transformation projects across various industries. He has a keen interest in open source programming and is co-author of the leafdown and counterfactuals R packages.

Description: Interpretable machine learning (IML) methods are crucial for ensuring model trust, accountability, regulatory compliance, and enhancing model performance. This course provides an introduction to key concepts and methods in IML.

We start by exploring the differences between interpretable models, such as linear regression and decision trees, and black box models, like random forests and gradient boosting.

The focus then shifts to interpreting black box models using model-agnostic methods, which separate explanation from the model itself. You’ll learn about global model-agnostic methods like Partial Dependence Plots (PDP) and Permutation Feature Importance, which describe average model behavior, and local model-agnostic methods like Individual Conditional Expectation (ICE) plots and Local Surrogate Models (LIME) for individual predictions. The hands-on, code-first approach ensures you gain practical experience with several IML methods using R.

It is recommended to have at least basic machine learning knowledge and some programming experience (ideally in R).

Academic and Personal Website Creation: A Quarto Tutorial workshop

Join our workshop on Academic and Personal Website Creation: A Quarto Tutorial, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Academic and Personal Website Creation: A Quarto Tutorial

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

Speaker: Brier Gallihugh is an incoming fifth year doctoral candidate in social psychology at Ohio University. Broadly speaking, research interests involve prejudice and discrimination of minoritized groups. An advocate for all things open science and statistical, Brier spends countless time inside of RStudio and using R for statistical analyses and document/manuscript generation. Post PhD (likely Spring 2025), Brier hopes to gain employment as either a data analyst or data scientist.

Description: In the digital world having an online presence is at worst a strong suggestion and at best a firm requirement for anyone who wishes to advertise what they do. This is true both in academic circles (i.e., lab websites) and industry circles (i.e., portfolios) alike. However, creating websites can often require a vast knowledge in CSS and HTML coding in order to put together a professional product. Thankfully this is where Quarto comes in handy. This workshop will show participants how to get going quickly on creating and hosting a website for professional or personal use tailored to each participants individual needs using Quarto. Participants will need to have the latest versions of both R and RStudio installed prior to the workshop. Further, a GitHub and Netlify account (used to host the website) is also advised.
