Please register for the CAUSE webinar: The Hows and Whys of Reasoning with the ASA Ethical
Guidelines
Presenter: Rochelle Tractenberg (Georgetown University)
Date and time : Tuesday, January 9 , 2018 - 2:00pm
Abstract: Since data analysis is becoming important across disciplines, the ASA Ethical
Guidelines for Statistical Practice, which were updated in 2016, can serve to introduce
all students in quantitative disciplines to critical concepts of responsible data
analysis, interpretation, and reporting. The Guidelines contain elements that are
suitable, and important, components of training for undergraduates whether or not they are
statistics majors, to prepare them for ethical quantitative work. The Guideline principles
interact, and sometimes must be prioritized. Therefore, neither the simple distribution of
–nor an encouragement to memorize- the Guidelines can promote the necessary level of
awareness. This presentation will introduce ethical reasoning as a learnable, improvable
skill set that can provide an entry point to working with the 2016 revised ASA Ethical
Guidelines.

Please register for the CAUSE webinar : Symbulate: Simulation in the Language of
Probability
Presenter: Kevin Ross, Cal Poly
Date and Time : Thursday, January 11 , 2018 - 2:00pm
Abstract : Simulation is an effective tool for analyzing probability models as well as for
facilitating understanding of concepts in probability and statistics. Unfortunately,
implementing a simulation from scratch often requires users to think about programming
issues that are not relevant to the simulation itself. We have developed a Python package
called Symbulate ( [ https://github.com/dlsun/symbulate |
https://github.com/dlsun/symbulate ] ) which provides a user friendly framework for
conducting simulations involving probability models. The syntax of Symbulate reflects the
"language of probability" and makes it intuitive to specify, run, analyze and
visualize the results of a simulation. Moreover, Symbulate's consistency with the
mathematics of probability reinforces understanding of probabilistic concepts. This
webinar will demonstrate Symbulate's use with a variety of probability concepts and
problems, including: probability spaces; events; discrete and continuous random variables;
joint, conditional, and marginal distributions; stochastic processes; and more.

New subject: Webinar: Presented by Dennis Sun (Cal Poly and Google)Tuesday, February 13, 2018 - 2:00pm
Please register for the CAUSE webinar : What should we teach in data science courses?
Speaker : Dennis Sun (Cal Poly and Google)
Date and Time : Tuesday, February 13 , 2018 - 2:00pm
Abstract : Over the last few years, there has been a consensus that data science students
should be involved in all stages of the data analysis process, from data preparation and
wrangling, to presentation and visualization. But data science courses have varied widely
in their implementation. Some courses go into great depth about statistical models and
machine learning, while others focus on tools like XML, SQL, and web scraping. While there
is no question that a budding data scientist must acquire these skills eventually, what
should be covered in a course on data science? I suggest that data science courses be
organized around three core concepts: paradigms for representing data, paradigms for
manipulating data, and paradigms for visualization. These are topics of genuine
intellectual merit that are underrepresented elsewhere in the statistics and computer
science curriculum. The tools are secondary, and I suggest how such a course could be
taught using R examples using the tidyverse or using Python examples
