Intermediate/Advanced Statistical Analysis Workshops
Ongoing workshops in advanced analysis topics, using R. For more information, contact Mike Rieger (mrieger @ wustl . edu). Topics include:
Hypothesis Testing: Linear models with interactions and post-hoc comparisons in R
Data/Materials
Session Tutorial #1
rgbeta.R Simulation Function for ESS score data: rgbeta.R
Simulated ESS Score data: ESSData.tab
multcomp package
broom package
car package
Additional examples for the multcomp package (super useful): https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/multcomp/vignettes/multcomp-examples.pdf
Session Tutorial #2: Two Way Interactions with Categorical & Continuous Variables
Simulated Lever Press Data from Ozburn et al. 2012 Psychopharmacology: ozburn2012.tab
Discovery Approaches: Linear models with unknown numbers of predictors

Numerical Approaches: Empirical sampling methods

uSTAR R Workshops
Introductory data analysis workshops using R for uSTAR scholars, a scholarship program at Washington University in St. Louis for undergraduate students in STEM fields who come from historically underrepresented backgrounds (click link to read more). Currently this is a two-part series 11/30/2016 & 12/7/2016 but may continue in the future depending on program interest. We have had numerous uSTAR scholars in our lab over the years, so if you are interested in our work feel free to contact us.
Datasets for 11/30/2016
NOAA.gov GSOD
Global Summary of Day Data were downloaded and processed using these scripts: download.all.years & process.and.format.gsod.R, and the full FTP directory listing for GSOD data at NOAA.gov. We will use basic R base functions to learn the basic features of variable assigment and operations, linear algebra, and learn to do basic data exploration and plotting.
