REGISTER February 9, 2018 - 1:30pm to 2:45pm Leader/Instructor Jeff Blossom NON-HARVARD REGISTER Brief introduction to GIS, and the CGA workshop training series, to help students determine workshops that are appropriate for their individual needs. Students will use online and desktop GIS software.

This introduction to the popular ggplot2 R graphics package will show you how to create a wide variety of graphical displays in R, using techniques such as layering, mapping variables to aesthetics, working withr scales, faceting, and themes. Visit http://bit.ly/iqss-rgraphics for details and registration information (requires HarvardKey). Read more about Introduction to R Graphics with ggplot2

Geoprocessing tasks can be time intensive since they often performed on a number of different and large datasets. This hand-on workshop will gently introduce Model Builder in ArcGIS Desktop, and show how you can use them to increase productivity and the quality of your data. Taught by Giovanni Zambotti

Instructor: Ista Zahn This hands-on, intermediate R course will demonstrate a variety of statistical procedures using the open-source statistical software program, R. Topics covered include multiple regression, multilevel models, and multiple imputation. We expect that users enrolled in this course are already familiar with the statistical processes that we cover and are interested in learning how to run these procedures in R. Prerequisite: Basic familiarity with R, such acquired through an introductory R workshop. A limited number of lab computers will be available. If you bring your laptop...

REGISTER February 9, 2018 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm Leader/Instructor Wendy Guan NON-HARVARD REGISTER An introduction to spatial analysis for various kinds of problem solving in a GIS environment. Examples of both raster and vector data-based spatial operations like overlay, buffering, and interpolation will be covered.

This hands-on class will provide a comprehensive introduction to graphics in Stata. Topics for the class include graphing principles, descriptive graphs, linear regression, factor variables, and post-estimation graphs. This is an introductory workshop appropriate for those with only basic familiarity with Stata. Prerequisite: a general familiarity with Stata (such as taking the Introduction to Stata workshop). This workshop is free for Harvard and MIT affiliates. Click here to sign up! Instructor: Ista Zahn Location: Rm K018, 1737 Cambrdige St. (CGIS Knafel Building) For details and...

REGISTER September 29, 2017 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm Leader/Instructor Merrick Lex Berman NON-HARVARD REGISTER An introduction to Quantum GIS for beginners, this workshop will cover the basic methods for opening various data formats, dealing with projections, joining tabular data to vector GIS layers, symbolization, and exporting data. No previous knowledge of GIS or statistics is required. Location Training Workshops - Northwest Building

Dataverse is a software application that enables institutions to host research data repositories. It provides a preservation and archival infrastructure, while researchers can share, keep control of and get recognition for their data through an easy to access web browser interface. Dataverse supports the sharing of research data with a persistent data citation, and data publishing and management workflows with versioning and metadata standards. Overview of Dataverse 4.0 Please RSVP Here

REGISTER November 10, 2016 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm NON-HARVARD REGISTER Instructor: Paul Cote It is now common for municipalities to collect data about the heights and three-dimensional shape of buildings. These data, along with terrain models and two-dimensional groundplan information makes it possible to use GIS to create useful three-dimensional models of large areas. These models may be used to visualize design scenarios, as a contextual framework for sensor networks and many other applications. Participants in this workshop will learn to render GIS data in 3D and to perform studies of visual... Read more about Three-Dimensional GIS

The ability to 'wrangle' various forms of data into a GIS is necessary in order to produce maps or analysis. Students will learn how to convert and properly geo-reference raw data in text form into GIS format, find and import relevant publicly available data, and produce a map of the results. Taught by Jeff Blossom

The intended audience of this course is data scientists and other people involved in data analysis rather than career programmers. There will be some light discussion of good programming principles, but only as they pertain to good data science practices. The goal is to take participants from a low level of familiar with Python to performing simple data manipulations. At the end of the workshop, you should leave with a solid foundation to continue your own learning and experimenting with the language. Workshop Preparation In preparation for the workshop please install the Anaconda... Read more about Introduction to Python for for Data Analysis 1

Leader/Instructor: Jeff Blossom In this 2-hour workshop students will gain an understanding of what GIS is and how it can be used. Students will use both web and desktop GIS to visualize, query, and analyze geographic data. How to Apply: see the CGA event for details.

Get an introduction to R, the open-source system for statistical computation and graphics. With hands-on exercises, learn how to import and manage datasets, create R objects, install and load R packages, conduct basic statistical analyses, and create common graphical displays. This workshop is appropriate for those with little or no prior experience with R. More details including workshop materials are available at http://dss.iq.harvard.edu/workshop-materials#widget-2.
