SUMMARY:Making PDFs Accessible the Easy Way
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPDF is one of the most common document formats at UCLA. People who are blind\, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However\, many PDF documents created are completely inaccessible or frustrating for screenreader users. Public PDFs posted on websites\, PDF course reading material and PDFs emailed to listservs should be accessible to people who use screenreaders and other assistive technologies. During this one and a half hour long active learning session\, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on training in making an accessible PDF. \nPlease bring a laptop with Adobe Acrobat installed. If you do not have a laptop one will be provided for you at the Learning Lab. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training you should be able to: \n\nDescribe what PDF accessibility is and why it important\nProperly scan a book or paper to convert to PDF\nRun the PDF accessibility checker\nSet image alt tags\nBuild header structure into the PDF\nSet proper reading order\nUse a color contrast checker

SUMMARY:Introduction to Programming in Go
DESCRIPTION:This short course will cover the basics of the Go language for those who already are familiar with an imperative programming environment like Python. The Go programming language (golang) is a simple\, high-performance imperative programming language. It has the benefits of a strongly typed\, compiled language along with many of the benefits of popular scripting languages like Python. The course will assume familiarity with another imperative language so we can use comparisons (to Python) to leverage familiarity and move quickly. We will also discuss the basic toolchain used in Go programming along with its standard library. We’ll wrap up with some quick exposure to Go’s performance and facilities for supporting concurrent programming. \n  \n\nIf you have questions regarding the workshop\, please contact the instructor Scott Friedman.

SUMMARY:Decomposing Interactions in R
DESCRIPTION:In regression\, we are often interested in an interaction\, which is the modification of the effect of an independent variable by another. Interactions can be decomposed in three ways\, by 1) testing each effect against zero\, 2) testing differences among effects\, and 3) graphing. This workshop will demonstrate how to do all three analyses in R for the following interaction models: continuous-by-continuous\, categorical-by-continuous\, and categorical-by-categorical. Some hands-on exercises will be presented. Recommended: Prior knowledge of linear regression and a laptop with R installed. \nThis workshop will be hands-on.  So participants should bring their own laptop with R installed. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.

SUMMARY:Understanding Job Scheduling on Hoffman2 Cluster
DESCRIPTION:We will discuss how to effectively run jobs on Hoffman2 cluster. Hoffman2 cluster serves a wide spectrum of user applications and is almost always heavily loaded. We will first review the model and policy of Hoffman2’s job scheduling\, followed by fundamentals of using its job scheduler\, Univa Grid Engine. A number of common use cases will be discussed in details\, including: (1) Single-CPU jobs\, (2) Multi-CPU\, same-node jobs\, (3) Multiple-node (MPI-style) jobs and (4) Job arrays. \nIf you have any questions or comments regarding this event\, please contact Shao-Ching Huang.

SUMMARY:Making PDFs Accessible the Easy Way
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nPDF is one of the most common document formats at UCLA. People who are blind\, low-vision or have dyslexia rely on assistive technologies and screenreading software to “read text out loud” to them. However\, many PDF documents created are completely inaccessible or frustrating for screenreader users. Public PDFs posted on websites\, PDF course reading material and PDFs emailed to listservs should be accessible to people who use screenreaders and other assistive technologies. During this one and a half hour long active learning session\, you will have the opportunity to get hands-on training in making an accessible PDF. \nPlease bring a laptop with Adobe Acrobat installed. If you do not have a laptop one will be provided for you at the Learning Lab. \nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of this training you should be able to: \n\nDescribe what PDF accessibility is and why it important\nProperly scan a book or paper to convert to PDF\nRun the PDF accessibility checker\nSet image alt tags\nBuild header structure into the PDF\nSet proper reading order\nUse a color contrast checker

SUMMARY:Introduction to Regression in R
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER FOR EVENT\nRegression analysis is one of the most powerful statistical techniques that is used to explain variability in a response (dependent) variable as a function of one or more predictor (explanatory or independent) variables.  The aim of this seminar is to help participants increase their skills in using regression analysis with R.  The seminar does not teach regression\, per se\, but focuses on how to perform regression analyses using R. However\, it gives a very brief review on the theoretical background as necessary.  It is assumed that participants have had at least a one quarter/semester course in regression (linear models) or a general statistical methods course that covers simple and multiple regression and have access to a regression textbook that explains the theoretical background of the materials covered in this seminar.  These materials also assume basic familiarity with R\, for example that you have taken the Introduction to R seminar or have equivalent knowledge of R.  The seminar begins with simple regression and generalize the methods to multiple regression\, followed by regression diagnostics\, regression with categorical predictors\, and finally a quick look at the generalized linear model and logistic regression. \nIf you have questions or comments regarding this event\, contact Statistical Consulting Group. \nNOTE: This event is only available in-person at UCLA. There will not be online access to this event. Please only register for the event if you are able to attend in-person.
