Registration link: https://ucla.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwkdu6hqj4sG9ZioB0tM8VuXxA44AWGc6W- Visual interpretations are meaningful ways to determine spatial trends in our data. However, underlying factors—such as inconsistent geographies, scale, data gaps, overlapping data—have the potential to produce incorrect assumptions, as valuable information may be conveniently hidden from the visual output. One way to address this issue is to amend your visual output...

Meta-analysis is the synthesis of results from previous studies. It is used to increase power, obtain a better estimate of an effect size, and sometimes to resolve conflicting conclusions in the literature. In this workshop, we will discuss how the data for a meta-analysis are collected and organized, as well as how such data are...

This workshop introduces zero-inflated poisson, zero-inflated negative binomial, and hurdle models for count data, which are two-part models used when more zeros are found in the data than expected with typical count distributions. We will discuss the formulations of the two parts of each model, the interpretation of model parameters, and how to run these...

In regression, we are often interested in an interaction, which is the modification or moderation of the effect of an independent variable by another. Understanding interactions involves interpreting the regression coefficients, estimating and testing simple effects and their differences, and visualizing the interaction. This workshop will teach you how to do all of these thing...
