Linear mixed models for agricultural researchers with ASReml-R
ZoomThis event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event In this session, I will explain the motivation and intuition behind building some statistical models to analyse data from plant breeding programs. These models will include linear mixed models, factor analytic models and spatial models for prediction of genotype-by-environment effects. I … Continue reading
Data Manipulation and Visualisation in Python
ZoomPython has deservedly become a popular language for scientific computing. It has all the friendly features and conveniences you’d expect of a modern programming language, and also a rich set of libraries for working with data. In this workshop, you will explore DataFrames in depth (using the pandas library), learn how to manipulate, explore and … Continue reading

Estimating parameters by frequentist and Bayesian approaches
ZoomThis event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event Frequentists estimate parameters by choosing the value that maximises the likelihood of the data. The Bayesian approach assumes that the unknown value of a parameter is drawn from a prior distribution and it can be estimated by the mean of the … Continue reading
MCMC methods for sampling posterior distributions
ZoomThis event is funded by Intellectual Climate Fund La Trobe University About this event If there is no mathematical formula for the posterior distribution it can often be approximated by sampling from it. This is possible in Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods which sample one or more parameters conditional on the data and all the … Continue reading
Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap
ZoomWould you like to enable secure and reliable data collection forms and manage online surveys? Would your study benefit from web-based data entry? Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) might be for you. This course will introduce you to REDCap, a rapidly evolving web tool developed by researchers for researchers. REDCap features a high level of … Continue reading
