SUMMARY:SAS Macro Language 1: Essentials
DESCRIPTION:RSVP FOR THE EVENT\n2-Day workshop\, 9:00am – 5:00pm daily\nThis course focuses on the components of the SAS macro facility and how to design\, write\, and debug macro systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding how programs with macro code are processed. Learn how to perform text substitution in SAS code\, automate and customize the production of SAS code\, conditionally or iteratively construct SAS code and use macro variables and macro functions. This course can help prepare you for the following certification exams: SAS Advanced Programming for SAS 9\, SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer Using SAS 9. \nBefore attending this course\, you should have either completed the SAS Programming 2: Data Manipulation Techniques course or have equivalent knowledge. Specifically\, you should be able to: \n\nUse a DATA step to read from or write to a SAS data set or external file\nUse DATA step programming statements such as IF-THEN/ELSE\, DO WHILE\, DO UNTIL\, and iterative DO\nUse SAS data set options such as DROP=\, KEEP=\, and OBS=\nUse character functions such as SUBSTR\, SCAN\, INDEX\, and UPCASE\nForm subsets of data using the WHERE clause\nCreate and use SAS date values and constants\nUse SAS procedures such as SORT\, PRINT\, CONTENTS\, MEANS\, FREQ\, TABULATE\, and CHART.\n\nNote: This event is open to current University of California affiliates. \n\nFor registration and more information\, please visit the IDRE Stats Seminars page.

SUMMARY:University Stats Camp: Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling with xxM Seminar
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive 3-day Stats Camp seminar on Multilevel SEM with xxM.\nThis seminar teaches skills necessary to conduct analysis of complex multilevel data-structures from an nLevel Structural Equation Modeling perspective. \nConventional multilevel modeling and multilevel-structural equation modeling work well with ‘standard’ multilevel data. The n-Level structural equation modeling (NL-SEM) framework is intended for both conventional and non-standard data-structures. Non-standard data are indeed very common across multiple domains but rarely analyzed in a satisfactory manner. \n  \nInstructor\, Paras Mehta\, Ph.D. \n9:00am – 5:00pm Daily. \nAdvanced course. Recommended for researchers\, faculty\, graduate students and Post-Docs. \nOpen to public. Registration with UCLA email address receives 25% Off Discount.

SUMMARY:Build\, Train\, and Deploy ML Models at Scale with Amazon SageMaker
DESCRIPTION:In this tutorial participants learn to solve Machine / Deep Learning problems using the tools available in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. The development and application of machine learning models is a vital part of scientific and technical computing. Increasing model training data size generally improves model prediction and performance\, but deploying models at scale is a challenge. Participants will learn to use Amazon SageMaker\, a new AWS service that simplifies the machine learning process and enables training on cloud stored datasets at any scale. \nApplications will include: \n\nsatellite imagery\, MXNet\, LandSat dataset : automatically mapping buildings in Vietnam\nchemistry\, DeepChem: building an online compound solubility prediction workflow\ngenomics\, 1000 genomes dataset\n\nThe tutorial will walk attendees through the process of building a model\, training it\, and applying it for prediction. Working in web-based Jupyter Notebooks powered by AWS\, we’ll explore common algorithms (e.g. k-means and PCA) and deep learning with MXNet and TensorFlow. Participants will become familiar with SDKs for Python and Spark and other APIs that make machine learning with AWS easy to use. With Amazon SageMaker\, users take their code and analysis to the data\, and participants will experiment on real-world datasets\, such as Earth on AWS and the Cancer Genome Atlas. At the end of the session\, attendees will have the resources and experience to start using Amazon SageMaker and other AWS services to accelerate their scientific research and time to discovery. \nFood: Pizza will be served. \n\nIntended audience \nMachine Learning Practitioners old and new: developers\, scientists\, data science practitioners\, research staff\, and any other interested persons.

SUMMARY:Principal Components and Exploratory Factor Analysis with SPSS
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will give a practical overview of both principal components analysis (PCA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using SPSS. We will begin with variance partitioning and explain how it determines the use of a PCA or EFA model. For the PCA portion of the seminar\, we will introduce topics such as eigenvalues and eigenvectors\, communalities\, sum of squared loadings\, total variance explained\, and choosing the number of components to extract. For the EFA portion\, we will discuss factor extraction\, estimation methods\, factor rotation\, and generating factor scores for subsequent analyses. The seminar will focus on how to run a PCA and EFA in SPSS and thoroughly interpret output\, using the hypothetical SPSS Anxiety Questionnaire as a motivating example. \nAll researchers are welcome to the workshop. \nRSVP by visiting the following link: RSVP form.

SUMMARY:Using Jupyter for Research and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The Jupyter notebook can be a programming and data analysis tool\, but it can also be a method to document and save an analysis workflow\, to share analysis routines and workflow with peers\, and to publicize the data analysis contained in articles.  Notebooks store and encapsulate computational thinking and processes in a manner that allows them to be retrieved\, re-used\, and distributed to others. This class will demonstrate how to take advantage of Jupyter for research and collaboration\, including methods for sharing notebooks and for collaborative editing and running.

SUMMARY:Using Jupyter for Education
DESCRIPTION:Jupyter tools are increasingly being used for educational purposes.  With Jupyter notebooks\, teachers can share documents that are interactive and combine narrative text\, code\, multimedia\, equations\, and data analysis and visualization.  With nbgrader\, they can create gradable notebooks and automate the distribution/grading process\, and with JupyterHub\, they can provide a Jupyter environment to students that doesn’t place any demands on the students’ computational sophistication or resource availability.  This class will take an interactive tour through several educational Jupyter notebooks from a variety of fields\, followed by an introduction to JupyterHub and nbgrader.
