Please join us for the next CAUSE webinar Tuesday, March 23rd at 4:00PM ET.
Title: Data ingestation, data collection, and data analysis: key components in the
statistics and data science analysis cycle
Presenters: Mine Dogucu (Irvine) & Albert Y. Kim (Smith College)
Date and Time: Tuesday, March 23, 2021 04:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Abstract:
In the March CAUSE/Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education webinar series we will
discuss two related papers on data ingestation, data collection, and data analysis. Mine
Dogucu (UC Irvine) will discuss her paper "Web Scraping in the Statistics and Data
Science Curriculum: Challenges and Opportunities"
(
https://github.com/mdogucu/web-scrape). Albert Y. Kim (Smith College) will discuss his
paper "'Playing the Whole Game': A Data Collection and Analysis Exercise With
Google Calendar" (
https://smithcollege-sds.github.io/sds-www/JSE_calendar.html) Mine
Dogucu is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Statistics at University
of California Irvine. Her work focuses on modern pedagogical approaches in the statistics
curriculum, making data science education accessible, and undergraduate Bayesian
education. She is the coauthor of the upcoming book Bayes Rules! An Introduction to
Bayesian Modeling with R. She co-chairs the Undergraduate Statistics Project Competition
and the Electronic Undergraduate Statistics Research Conference (USPROC+eUSR). She shares
her thoughts about data science education on her Data Pedagogy blog. Albert Kim is an
Assistant Professor of Statistical & Data Sciences at Smith College as well as a
Visiting Scholar at the ForestGEO network's Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute
(SCBI) large forest dynamics plot. His research centers on forest ecology, in particular
modeling the impact of climate change on the growth of trees as well as ecological
forecasting. He is a co-author of "Statistical Inference via Data Science: A
ModernDive into R and the Tidyverse" (see
moderndive.com).
