It has an excellent ecosystem including the powerful RStudio and the Shiny web application framework.This half-day course covers one and two-way Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) and their non-parametric counterparts in R.\n\nANOVA (Analysis of Variance) is a statistical method used to determine whether there are significant differences between the means of three or more groups. It helps analyse the effect of independent variables on a dependent variable by comparing the variance within groups to the variance between groups. ANOVA tests assume normality, homogeneity of variances, and independence of observations, and can be used to explore relationships in datasets, such as how factors like study time or parental education affect student performance.\n\n- Basic statistical theory behind ANOVAs\n- How to check that the data meets the assumptions\n- One-way ANOVA in R and post-hoc analysis\n- Two-way ANOVA plus interaction effects and post-hoc analysis\n- Non-parametric alternatives to one and two-way ANOVA\n\nThis course assumes an intermediate level of programming proficiency, plus familiarity with the syntax and functions of the dplyr and ggplot2 packages. Experience navigating the RStudio integrated development environment (IDE) is also required.  \n  \n If you’re new to programming in R, we strongly recommend you register for the \\Learn to Program: R\\, \\Data Manipulation and Visualisation in R\\ workshops first. ","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.6423760","remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]},{"id":241,"title":"Introduction to Machine Learning using Python: Introduction \u0026 Linear Regression","url":"https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/introduction-to-machine-learning-using-python-introduction-linear-regression.json","description":"Machine Learning (ML) is a new way to program computers to solve real world problems.

In this course we’ll work through the various features of Refine, including importing data, faceting, clustering, and calling remote APIs, by working on a fictional but plausible humanities research project.\n\nDownload, install and run Open Refine  \n Import data from csv, text or online sources and create projects  \n Navigate data using the Open Refine interface  \n Explore data by using facets  \n Clean data using clustering  \n Parse data using GREL syntax  \n Extend data using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)  \n Export project for use in other applications\n\nThe course has no prerequisites.","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.6423840","remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]},{"id":268,"title":"Collecting Web Data","url":"https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/collecting-web-data.json","description":"Web scraping is a technique for extracting information from websites. This can be done manually but it is usually faster, more efficient and less error-prone if it can be automated.  \n  \n Web scraping allows you to convert non-tabular or poorly structured data into a usable, structured format, such as a .csv file or spreadsheet. But scraping is about more than just acquiring data: it can help you track changes to data online, and help you archive data. In short, it’s a skill worth learning.  \n  \n So join us for this web scraping workshop to learn web scraping, using the researcher-focused training modules from the highly regarded Software Carpentry Foundation.\n\nThe concept of structured data  \n The use of XPath queries on HTML document  \n How to scrape data using browser extensions  \n How to scrape using Python and Scrapy  \n How to automate the scraping of multiple web pages\n\nA good knowledge of the basic concepts and techniques in Python.
