Learn to Program: MATLAB

Zoom

 MATLAB is an incredibly powerful programming environment with a rich set of analysis toolkits. But what if you’re just getting started – with MATLAB and, more generally, with programming? Nothing beats a hands-on, face-to-face training session to get you past the inevitable syntax errors! So join us for this live coding workshop where we write … Continue reading

Longitudinal Trials with REDCap

Zoom

Learn how to run longitudinal data collection, such as surveys with post-intervention and follow-up questionnaires using REDCap About this event REDCap is a powerful and extensible application for managing and running longitiudinal data collection activities. With powerful features such as organising data collections instruments into predefined events, you can shephard your participants through a complex … Continue reading

Approximate Bayesian computation

Zoom

This event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event Many modern statistical settings feature the analysis of data that may arise from unknown generating processes, or processes for which the generative models are computationally infeasible to interact with. Conventional estimation and inference solution methods in such settings may be unwieldy … Continue reading

Genomic prediction with Bayesian methods

Zoom

This event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event In genomic prediction a formula that predicts phenotype based on an individual’s genotype at genetic markers is derived. This prediction equation estimates the effect of each genetic marker on the phenotype. These effects are usually assumed to come from a prior … Continue reading

Excel for Researchers

Zoom

Data rarely comes in the form you require. Often it is messy. Sometimes it is incomplete. And sometimes there's too much of it. Frequently, it has errors. We'll use one of the most widespread data wrangling tools, Microsoft Excel, to import, sort, filter, copy, protect, transform, summarise, merge, and visualise research data. While aimed at … Continue reading

The causes and consequences of non-normal distributions in parasitology

Zoom

This event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event Most distributions in biology are well described by a normal distribution and Fisher provided a convincing explanation for this. However, this is not the case in parasitology. Usually parasites followed a skewed distribution that is empirically described by a negative binomial … Continue reading

Learning sparse log-ratios for high-throughput sequencing data

Zoom

This event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event We present CoDaCoRe, a novel software package for identifying sparse predictive biomarkers in high-throughput sequencing data (available at https://github.com/egr95/R-codacore). The automatic discovery of sparse biomarkers that are associated with an outcome of interest is a central goal of bioinformatics. In the … Continue reading

Learn to Program: R

Zoom

R is quickly gaining popularity as a programming language of choice for statisticians, data scientists and researchers. It has an excellent ecosystem including the powerful RStudio development environment and the Shiny web application framework. But getting started with R can be challenging, particularly if you've never programmed before. That's where this introductory course comes in. … Continue reading
