NUMBAT Workshops
About
These workshops are designed to help develop data analysis and computing skills in the Monash and broader community. Workshops will be hands-on and primarily focus on using R. Most workshops will be hybrid, in-person for the Monash community and also with the possibility to join on zoom. They will be taught by experts on the topics from the NUMBATs group.
Workshops are organised along three themes:
- Learning from data: extracting data from various sources, tidying, wrangling, modelling, analysis, exploratory data graphics.
- Data science productivity: reproducibility, collaboration, literate programming, efficient coding, sharing code.
- Communicating with data: effective visualisation, storytelling, engineering interactive web apps, publishing software.
Workshops are also grade on three levels:
- Beginner: A basic knowledge of R, and using RStudio, is all that is needed to understand the content.
- Intermediate: Along with a basic knowledge, some additional experience such as comfortable with the content of R4DS.
- Advanced: This level is for experienced analysts wishing to advanced their level of understanding on particular specialty areas.
