    From Data to Insight: Practical Statistical Modeling – Part 2

    Featured May 26 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm ADT
    Online

    This hands-on workshop introduces participants to statistical modeling in R, one of the most widely used languages for statistical computing and data analysis. Statistical models are fundamental tools for understanding relationships in data, supporting evidence-based decision-making, and building reliable analytics and AI workflows. The workshop will guide participants through the key steps of a typical statistical analysis process: exploring data, building statistical models, interpreting model results, and communicating findings through clear visualizations. Participants will learn how to implement basic statistical models in R and create informative graphs to better understand and present their results. The session is divided into two parts. The first session focuses on the conceptual foundations of statistical modeling, including model assumptions, interpretation, and how statistical thinking supports reliable analysis. The second session focuses on hands-on coding in R, where participants will build models, generate visualizations, and organize their analysis into a reproducible statistical report using R Markdown. By the end of the workshop, participants will have practical experience using R to perform statistical analysis and will produce a structured analytical report that integrates code, results, visualizations, and interpretation. This workflow helps ensure analyses are transparent, reproducible, and easy to communicate to collaborators and stakeholders. Part 2 […]
