Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling workshop

Join our workshop on Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 


Here’s some more info: 

Title: Visualizing Variance with Sankey diagrams/Riverplots using R: An Illustration with Longitudinal Multi-level Modeling

Date: Thursday, November 26th, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Daniel P. Moriarity, PhD is a clinical psychologist with a particular interest in immunopsychiatry, psychiatric phenotyping, and methods reform in biological psychiatry. He currently works as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the UCLA Laboratory for Stress Assessment and Research with Dr. George Slavich. Starting January 2025, he will join the University of Pennsylvania’s Psychology Department as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology.

Description: This workshop will illustrate how to create Sankey diagrams/Riverplots with a focus on longitudinal multilevel modeling to separately visualize between-person and within-person variance. However, the technique can be applied to many other visualizations of different sources of variance (e.g., different variables, random vs. fixed effects). Data + code templates will be provided to follow along with.

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

Conducting Simulation Studies in R workshop

Join our workshop on Conducting Simulation Studies in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

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.

Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R workshop

Join our workshop on Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 


Here’s some more info: 

Title: Optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning in R

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

Speaker: Martin Huber earned his Ph.D. in Economics and Finance with a specialization in econometrics from the University of St. Gallen in 2010. Following this, he served as an Assistant Professor of Quantitative Methods in Economics at the same institution. He undertook a visiting appointment at Harvard University in 2011–2012 before joining the University of Fribourg as a Professor of Applied Econometrics in 2014. His research encompasses methodological and applied contributions across various fields, including causal analysis and policy evaluation, machine learning, statistics, econometrics, and empirical economics. Martin Huber’s work has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of the American Statistical Association, the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society B, the Journal of Econometrics, the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, and the Econometrics Journal, among others. He is also the author of the book “Causal Analysis: Impact Evaluation and Causal Machine Learning with Applications in R.”

Description: Causal analysis aims to assess the causal effect of a treatment, such as a training program for jobseekers, on an outcome of interest, such as employment. This assessment requires ensuring comparability between groups receiving and not receiving the treatment in terms of outcome-relevant background characteristics (e.g., education or experience). Causal machine learning serves two primary purposes: (1) generating comparable groups in a data-driven manner by detecting and controlling for characteristics that significantly affect the treatment and outcome, and (2) assessing the heterogeneity of treatment effects across groups differing in observed characteristics. Closely related to effect heterogeneity analysis is optimal policy learning, which seeks to optimally target specific subgroups with treatment based on their observed characteristics to maximize treatment effectiveness. This workshop introduces optimal policy learning based on causal machine learning, facilitating (1) data-driven segmentation of a sample into subgroups and (2) optimal treatment assignment across subgroups to maximize effectiveness. The workshop also explores applications of this method using the statistical software “R” and its interface “R Studio.”

She can often be found at data science meetups, presenting at conferences, and is the R-Ladies Lancaster chapter organiser.


Description: Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system that allows you to combine text with code to create fully reproducible documents in a variety of formats. The addition of custom styling to documents can make them look more professional and recognisable. In the first half of this workshop, we’ll look at ways to customise HTML outputs (including documents and revealjs slides) using CSS, and ways to customise PDF documents using LaTeX. In the second half, we’ll discuss the use of Quarto extensions as a way of sharing customised templates with others, demonstrate how to install and use extensions, and show the process of building your own custom style extension.
