Description: This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to spatial analysis using R. Participants will work through a series of guided examples using editable code to learn about topics such as defining units of analysis, spatial data structures (points, lines, and polygons), and their manipulation and visualisation, and the role of spatial dependence. After the session...
Abstract There is a long history of data graphics being used to represent uncertainty information: think of bar charts accompanied with error bars. Whether or not symbolising statistical quantities in this way is effective at supporting uncertainty reasoning is little-discussed in social research methods primers (spoiler: it is not). In this session, I’ll take a tour through some...
This workshop will provide hands-on advanced engagement with matters related to mixed methods research (MMR). It will discuss the main paradigms and philosophical considerations underpinning MMR, outline some of the principles to be considered –research design, triangulation, analyses – and provide an opportunity to explore the advantages and limitations of MMR. The workshop is designed for researcher...
Scientific research often relies on complex data wrangling, simulation, visualisation and statistical analyses. Our findings are summarised in tables and figures that are then (we hope) published in academic journals, nestled among paragraphs of explanatory text. These publications might be the most valued items on the academic market, but arguably, the most integral part of...
