---+++++   R Workflow (VIRTUAL)  
_23 September, 2022_ *Frank Harrell*

This workshop is based on the R Workflow electronic book at hbiostat.org/rflow. Here I outline analysis project workflow that I’ve found to be efficient in making reproducible research reports using R with RMarkdown and now Quarto. I start by covering importing data, creating annotated analysis files, examining extent and patterns of missing data, and running descriptive statistics on them with goals of understanding the data and their quality and completeness. Functions in the Hmisc package are used to annotate data frames and data tables with labels and units of measurement, show metadata/data dictionaries, and to produce tabular and graphical statistical summaries. Efficient and clear methods of recoding variables are given. Several examples of processing and manipulating data using the data.table package are given, including some non-trivial longitudinal data computations. General principles of data analysis are briefly surveyed and some flexible bivariate and 3-variable analysis methods are presented with emphasis on staying close to the data while avoiding highly problematic categorization of continuous independent variables. Examples of diagramming the flow of exclusion of observations from analysis, caching results, parallel processing, and simulation are presented. In the process several useful report writing methods are exemplified, including program-controlled creation of multiple report tabs. The methods presented capitalize on 31 years of experience with the R language and its precursor S.

---+++ Winter/Spring 2022 Schedule

---+++++   A practical tutorial to geocoding (VIRTUAL)  
_25 February, 2022_ *Ryan Moore*

Geocoding is the process of taking a text description of a location, such as an address, and converting it to geocodes that can be joined to geomarker data of interest. In biomedical research geocoding can used to study a variety of geomarker data such as air quality indices or socioeconomic indicators. 

In this month’s computing series, I will give a tutorial on how to use geocoding to join population level census tract data to address data. Additionally, I will give a brief tutorial on how to plot geographic data on a choropleth map in R.


---+++ Fall 2021 Schedule

---+++++   Practical Security  
_22 October, 2021_ *Shawn Garbett*

The risk of private health information leaking faces the ever-growing threat of hackers and thieves. Practical security tips are shared to help block phishing attacks. Example code is shared showing how to generate reports from REDCap without storing the data locally.

---+++++   Customizable Table Building with tangram.pipe  
_27 August, 2021_ *Andrew Guide*

In this presentation, I will introduce the tangram.pipe package, which allows for fully customizable summary tables in R. I will show how to use this package to create well-formatted tables that allow users to specify the features and formatting for each row in the table. These features include comparison tests, missing data handling, row summaries by a column variable, and summaries of subsets. 

---+++ Winter/Spring 2021 Schedule

---+++++   as.data.table(data.frame)
_30 April, 2021_ *Cole Beck*

The most common data structure in R is the data.frame. While it has its flaws, it's simple to use and generally works as expected. It's the default tool you should use to store data. As data sets grow in size, the default isn't always good enough, and alternatives are available. One popular alternative is the data.table package. We'll discuss its syntax and how to replace data.frame functionality. We'll look at some of its features, and find some examples when data.table doesn't work as expected.

The content of Cole's presentation is available on github: [[https://couthcommander.github.io/datatable/datatable-intro.nb.html][Presentation]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW8y9OQWk2A][YouTube]] (set quality to 1080p).

---+++++  Advanced R Reporting
_19 March, 2021_ *Frank Harrell*

This talk illustrates the following:  
   * parallel processing to speed up simulations. 
   * using a hash to only run simulations when an input parameter or the source code changes  
   * using the data.table package for aggregating and reshaping data tables 
   * auto-sensing when html format is being produced 
   * automatically switching to interactive plotly graphics when creating the html version of the report 
   * dynamic creation of a sequence of R markdown knitr code chunks each with its own figure caption, using Hmisc::markupSpecs$html$mdchunk 
   * use of the beautiful [[https://github.com/juba/rmdformats/][rmdreadthedown]] report template when producing html 
   * use of special !LaTeX options when producing pdf 

The report to be discussed and its complete RMarkdown file and service functions may be found at https://hbiostat.org/R/Hmisc/markov

---+++++  RStudio addins and open discussion
_26 February, 2021_ *Josh !DeClercq*

RStudio addins are extensions which can both simplify and enhance the user’s ability to write R code. They are executable from within RStudio and are accessible to just like any other R package. They can provide a wide range of useful functions, including interactive plotting using ggplot, help with regular expressions, or styling cluttered code. I will provide a brief overview of a few of these features.

In addition, I encourage people to participate in an open discussion regarding the statistical computing series. I am curious to get input on topics that people may be interested in, ideas for presentations or presenters, or any general ideas that can help improve the series. Any feedback or insight is welcome.

---+++++  Repello: Reports from Trello in R
_22 January, 2021_ *Andrew Guide*

Trello is an application for project management that has been utilized in a wide variety of settings.  R is a statistical computing software widely used to process data and generate reports.  In this presentation, I will introduce the Repello package for R which reads in data via the Trello API in order to generate a customizable progress report of all projects in a Trello board.  I will also show how one can setup a cron job in Linux so that the progress report is automatically generated on a repeating schedule. 
 
In addition, I will also show how I use this tool within the nephrology-epidemiology-biostatistics collaboration, which is a large research group with multiple, simultaneous ongoing research projects.  The goal in creating this tool was to keep all the investigators informed about the progress of individual projects in the collaboration.  I will speak about why I think keeping the entire team in the loop about all the projects is helpful.

---+++ Fall 2019 Schedule

---+++++  Creating and Distributing R Packages: A Case Study
_25 October, 2019_ *Jeff Jetton*

The thousands of available add-on packages are one of the reasons R has been so widely-adopted. This discussion will cover how (and why) R users might develop their own packages and, as an example, trace the journey of the “greenclust” package from its initial creation through to its recent submission to CRAN.

---+++ Fall 2017 Schedule

---+++++  Introduction to Jupyter Notebooks for Interactive and Reproducible Research!

_29 September, 2017_  *Chris Fonnesbeck*

Jupyter (formerly IPython) notebooks are a flexible and powerful tool for data science in both local and cloud-based environments. The notebooks allow data analyses to be integrated with markdown text, html, math, multimedia and other supporting materials and technologies to make scientific programming more literate and the generation of reports, web pages and even presentation slides seamless. While originally designed as a Python front-end, Jupyter works with R, Julia, Spark, and dozens of other languages via custom-built kernels. This presentation will introduce Jupyter notebooks and demonstrate how they can provide a powerful platform for reproducible quantitative research.

---+++++  Intermediate Version Control and Collaboration Workflows using Git and GitHub

_27 October, 2017_  *Chris Fonnesbeck*

Git has become a standard tool for version control of code for scientific computing and software development. Its effectiveness as a collaborative system is enhanced by commercial repository management services such as GitHub, BitBucket and GitLab, which provide remote repositories for working with teams on larger projects, as well as services for managing issues and code contributions from users. This tutorial will cover intermediate Git functionality required to use remote repositories effectively, including branching, cloning, merging and rebasing. I will also demonstrate best practices for participating in collaborative GitHub projects, such as creating issues and pull requests. This tutorial will assume participants are familiar with elementary Git usage.

---+++++  Use R to animate travel history!

_27 January, 2017_  *Minchun Zhou*

Plotting is not sufficient for data visualization in many cases, such as travel history data. People travel a lot, with family, with friends or alone. If you can animate your travel history, it’s like reviving good memories. In this talk, I will briefly demonstrate how to plot data on Google Maps, draw great circles, and make animations using R!

---+++++  Using the R package GMD to do collaborative statistical document construction

_24 February, 2017_ *Nicholas Strayer*

Lucy and I have recently made the R package GMD to solve the problem “how do you construct a statistical report/ homework while working simultaneously with collaborators?”. GMD is an alpha-level package that allows you to keep a local .Rmd file in sync with a remote google doc. Simply paste the share url of the google doc into the function and automatically R will pull the google doc, put it into an .Rmd on your local machine and render the results. This effectively let’s you use google docs as your text editor, with all its benefits of history and multi-user editing while avoiding the hassle of continuously copying and pasting the text into R to check for syntax errors etc.

---+++++ Introduction to Variational Bayesian Methods

_24 March, 2017_ *David Schlueter*


In Bayesian analysis, the most common strategy for computing posterior quantities is through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Despite recent advances in efficient sampling, MCMC methods still remain computationally intensive for more than a few thousand observations. A more scalable alternative to sampling is Variational Inference (VI), which re-frames the problem of computing the posterior distribution as a minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the true posterior and a member of some approximating family. In this talk, we provide a basic overview of the VI framework as well as practical examples of its implementation using the Automatic Differentiation Variational Inference (ADVI) engine in PyMC3.


---

---+++++ Gaussian Processes Made Easy

_28 April, 2017_ *Chris Fonnesbeck*

A common applied statistics task involves building regression models to characterize non-linear relationships between variables. It is possible to fit such models by assuming a particular non-linear structure, such as a sinusoidal, exponential, or polynomial function, to describe a given response by one variable to another. Unless this relationship is obvious from the outset, however, it involves possibly extensive model selection procedures to ensure the most appropriate model is retained. Alternatively, a non-parametric approach can be adopted by defining a set of knots across the variable space and use a spline or kernel regression to describe arbitrary non-linear relationships. However, knot layout procedures are somewhat ad hoc and can also involve variable selection. A third alternative is to adopt a Bayesian non-parametric strategy, and directly model the unknown underlying function. For this, we can employ Gaussian process models. I will compare three packages for fitting GP models in Python that make building Bayesian non-parametric models easier than they have ever been.
