Your Statistical Toolbelt
Stephanie Dickinson (IUB School of Public Health)
12-1pm, Social Science Research Commons Grand Hall (Woodburn Hall 200)
This introductory workshop will walk through IBM SPSS and SAS JMP software while giving an overview of how to identify what types of data analysis tools to use for a project, along with basic “DIY” instructions. We will discuss the most common analysis tools for describing your data and performing significance tests (Correlation, T-test, ANOVA, Cross-tabs, etc), and how they should be selected based on the type of data and the type of research question you have. This is geared towards students or faculty beginning their foray into quantitative analysis of research data, would like an introduction to SPSS or JMP, or would just like to step back and get a framework for how to navigate “what analysis to use when.”

Introduction to R for Analysis
Jefferson Davis and Scott Michael
12-1pm, Social Science Research Commons Grand Hall (Woodburn Hall 200)
R is a flexible, free software language for statistical computing and visualizations. Its popularity is increasing across a broad range of disciplines. This workshop will provide and introduction to using R including
- Downloading R and where to find R on IU computers
- Basic R syntax
- The Rstudio environment
- Creating and importing data
- Producing and editing graphs
- Using statistical techniques such as t-tests, simple linear regressions, and mixed models.
No prior knowledge of R is assumed. We do, however, recommend that if you are using your own laptop that you download R and RStudio from the following links:

Jefferson Davis has worked in Research Analytics for over ten years, and has extensive experience with R, Matlab, and other numerical packages. Some of Jefferson's recent projects have included: developing interfaces for computational text analysis; cluster analysis of institutional "big data" sets; and numerical simulations of resource management in fisheries.
