Maintenance is usually scheduled for weekdays because it often involves coordination with university facilities teams or external vendors. There may also be times when Amarel must be unavailable due to externally-scheduled data center facilities, power, or telecommunications maintenance. When this happens, we will do our best to avoid adding to a month’s downtime with our … Read More
Creating interactive visualizations with Shiny in RStudio, and delivering Shiny visualizations on the web and hosting a Shiny server. Supplemental materials are available.
This session introduces the R statistical software environment, basic methods of data analysis, and the "tidyverse." While R is much more than the tidyverse, the development of the tidyverse packages, led by RStudio, has provided a powerful and connected toolkit to get started using R. Note that graphics and data manipulation are covered in subsequent … Read More
Most people can relate to and understand "where" when sharing information. In this short, interactive workshop, we will explore telling the story of your research using StoryMaps or another of the web applications that integrate work done in ArcGIS Online. Previous knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS) is not required. Make sure to register for … Read More
Some of the tidyverse's most powerful features are its abilities to import, filter, and otherwise manipulate data. This session reviews major packages within the tidyverse that relate to the essential data handling steps required before (and during) data analysis. Supplemental materials are available.
Part of the Data Topics series of workshops, this workshop reviews statistical tests, regression, sampling and bootstrap methods, and more. The focus here is on implementing statistics using R, with a comparison to Python techniques for accomplishing similar tasks. Supplemental materials are available.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) can be a very useful tool for your research by incorporating location when exploring questions. In this short, interactive workshop, we will focus on ArcGIS Pro basics, explore the interface, add and visualize data, create a map layout which we can either export as a PDF or share as a … Read More
The RStudio environment enables the easy creation of documents in various formats (HTML, DOC, PDF) using Rmarkdown, while knitr allows the incorporation of executable R code to produce the tables and figures in those documents. This session introduces these concepts and other packages and practices supporting reproducibility with the R environment.
The ggplot2 package from the tidyverse provides extensive and flexible graphical capabilities within a consistent framework. This session introduces the main features of ggplot2. Some prior familiarity with R is assumed (packages, structure, syntax), but the presentation can be followed without this background. Supplemental materials are available.
