SUMMARY:University of Plymouth: Introduction to Matlab Environment and Scripts
DESCRIPTION:Matlab is a powerful piece of software that is a programming language\, but which also has some features in common with statistical packages like SPSS\, and other features that make it more like a spreadsheet or database. As a result it can seem bewildering and complex. However\, at its simplest it is just a very sophisticated calculator with great graph drawing facilities which make many routine data analysis and presentation tasks a breeze. Give it a try before you decide. \nIntended learning outcomes: \n\nTo introduce new and inexperienced users to the Matlab programming environment\, basic mathematical and statistical operations on small data sets\, using the GUI to draw simple graphs\, exporting results to document preparation software\, and an introduction to scripting.\n\nFacilitator: Dr Martin Coath\nApplicability: Suitable for most research students and research staff. \nCourse dates and times:  \n\n19 February 2020\, 1000-1300\n18 March 2020\, 1000-1300\n\nBookings and enquiries: researchskills@plymouth.ac.uk

SUMMARY:NCRM: Introduction to QGIS: Spatial Data and Spatial Analysis
DESCRIPTION:In this two day course you will learn what GIS is\, how it works and how you can use it to create maps and perform spatial analysis. We assume no prior knowledge of GIS and you will learn how to get data into the GIS\, how to produce maps using your own data and what you can and cannot do with spatial data. You will also learn how to work with a variety of different data sources and types (including XY coordinate data and address or postcode data) and using spatial overlays\, point in polygon analysis and spatial joins.\nThe course covers: \n\nWhat is GIS and spatial data?\nHow to classify data for a choropleth map\nHow to create a publication ready map\nHow to work with different data sources including XY coordinate and postcode data\nUsing attribute and spatial joins\nUsing spatial overlays and spatial analysis\nHow to apply these skills to your own data\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nBe able to set up QGIS and add data\nKnow how to classify data for a choropleth map\nBe able to join tabular data to spatial data\nDesigning and producing a publication ready map in QGIS\nUnderstand how to import a range of data types into QGIS\nBe able to locate and open a range of GIS data sets\nKnow how to apply GIS analysis tools including spatial overlays and point in polygon.\nBe confident at applying the skills to their own data\n\nThis course is ideal for anyone who wishes to use spatial data in their role. This includes students\, academic\, government & other public sector researchers who have data with some spatial information (e.g. address\, postcode\, etc.) which they wish to show on a map. This course is also suitable for those who wish to have an overview of what GIS and spatial data can be used for\, and how you can better represent your data with maps. No previous experience of spatial data is required. \n  \nCost \nThe fee per teaching day is: \n• £30 per day for UK/EU registered students\n• £60 per day for staff at UK/EU academic institutions\, UK/EU Research Councils researchers\, UK/EU public sector staff and staff at UK/EU registered charity organisations and recognised UK/EU research institutions.\n• £220 per day for all other participants \nAll fees include event materials\, lunch\, morning and afternoon tea.

SUMMARY:NCRM: Introduction to Latent Class Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is a branch of the more General Latent Variable Modelling approach. It is typically used to classify subjects (such as individuals or countries) in groups that represent underlying patterns from the data. In addition to this application LCA provides a flexible framework that can be used in a wide range of contexts: in longitudinal studies (e.g.\, mixture latent growth models\, hidden Markov chains)\, in evaluation of data quality (e.g.\, extreme response style\, cross-cultural equivalence)\, non-parametric multilevel models\, joint modelling for dealing with missing data.\nIn this course you will receive an introduction to the essential topics of LCA such as: what is LCA\, how to run models\, how to choose between alternative models\, how to classify observations\, how to evaluate and predict classifications. You will also apply this knowledge to a number of more advanced models that look at the relationship between latent class variables and at longitudinal data. \nThe course covers: \n\nRefresher of basic concepts in categorical analysis: (marginal) probability\, odds ratios\, logistic regression;\nBasic concepts and assumptions of latent class analysis;\nIntroduction to Latent GOLD software;\nModel fit evaluation: global\, local and substantive evaluation;\nClassification of cases;\nApply these concepts to a number of models looking at: predicting class membership\, relationships between latent classes\, hidden Markov chains\n\nBy the end of the course participants will: \n\nKnow what is Latent Class Analysis;\nBe able to estimate and interpret results from Latent Class Analysis;\nBe able to choose between alternative Latent Class Models;\nUnderstand latent class classification and how to predict it;\nBe able to investigate the relationship between latent class variables.\n\nThe course is aimed at people from all disciplines and types of institutions that want to learn about latent class analysis or\, more generally\, about latent variable modelling. \nPre-requisites \nKnowledge of basic categorical analysis: (marginal) probabilities\, odds ratios\, logistic regression and of linear regression. \nPreparatory Reading \nFor an introduction to Latent Class Analysis: \nCollins\, L.

SUMMARY:Addressing the Reproducibility Crisis: Improving Research Design\, Data Analysis and Reporting
DESCRIPTION:1 Day Event at the University of Bath discussing the best practices as a researcher as more findings fail to replicate. \nThere has been an intense debate regarding the robustness of many published findings in psychological science\, neuroscience and social science over recent years\, with many classic findings failing to replicate\, and a growing realisation that many published findings may be unreliable. Small sample sizes and questionable research practices such as p-hacking\, hypothesising after the results are known\, and selectively publishing positive results have all been identified as contributing factors. \nIn response\, there has been a move towards rigorous and transparent scientific practices\, such as pre-registering study protocols and making materials and data available open-access\, designing studies with sufficient statistical power\, and team science approaches to pooling data\, resources and expertise. \nThis workshop will provide a practical introduction to open science targeted at PhD students. This will include pre-registration of studies and the registered report format adopted by many leading journals\, open data and resources\, and reproducible workflows all of which can be facilitated via open access resources such as the Open Science Framework. It will also include practical exercises\, question and answer sessions and peer learning where current PhD students will talk about their experiences with reproducibility and highlight examples of good practice in their labs. \n\n\n\nAddressing the reproducibility crisis: Improving research design\, data analysis and reporting \nDepartment of Psychology\, 10 West\, University of Bath \nThursday 23rd January 2020 \n  \n09:30 Arrival and coffee \n10:00 Kate Button (University of Bath) – Design matters: why reproducible methods are important \n10:40 Katie Hobbs (University of Bath) – Implementing reproducible methods in my PhD \n11:00 Cathy Pink (University of Bath) – Data management and open data \n11:45 Chris Chambers (Cardiff University) – Registered Reports \n12:30 Lunch \n13:15 Hannah Hobson (University of Greenwich) – Open Science Framework practical (computer lab) \n14:30 Coffee \n15:00 Keynote: Dorothy Bishop (University of Oxford) – Why review should be systematic \n16:00 Closing remarks \n16:15 Close \n\nPlease register for this event using the following link:\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/addressing-the-reproducibility–crisis-improving-research-design-data-analysis-and-reporting-tickets-82805821441
