The 2nd Physical Symposium of the IASC-African Members Group on Applied Statistics with R Syntax in Nigeria
Date/Time: 07/04/2021~08/04/2021, 10:00~17:00
Event: The 2nd Physical Symposium of the IASC-African Members Group on Applied Statistics with R Syntax in Nigeria
One of the objectives of the worldwide existence of International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC) is to exchange technical knowledge through national and international contacts and meetings between statisticians, computing professionals, organizations, institutions, governments, and the general public. With this in mind, the African Members Group of IASC wishes to explore this priceless opportunity to embark on a two-day physical symposium on Applied Statistics with R Syntax.
IASC African Members Group announces her second FREE Physical Symposium on Applied Statistics using R syntax in Nigeria holding simultaneously in two different locations:
Location I: Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria
Location II: Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria
Interested members of the public can register via the link https://forms.gle/JFDVBoT5ntkqoa7W7
This 2-day fully practical training aims at providing an overview of application of R programming language in Applied Statistics to cover a broad selection of key challenges in and methodologies for working with real-life dataset. Topics to be covered are extensively detailed. Real life applications with industrial illustrations would be given to enhance participants’ understanding. Participants will surely acquire a working knowledge of R syntax through hands-on projects and case studies.
With the aid of R programming software package, the training is expected to cover the following areas of Applied Statistics:
Day I:
Summarizing dataset, Calculating relative frequencies, Tabulating factors and creating contingency tables, Testing categorical variables for independence, Calculating quantiles (and quartiles) of a dataset, Inverting a quantile, Converting data to z-scores, Testing the mean of a sample (t-test), Forming a confidence interval for a mean, Forming a confidence interval for a median, Testing a sample proportion, Forming a confidence interval for a proportion, Testing for normality, Testing for runs,
Day II:
Comparing the means of two samples, Comparing the locations of two samples non-parametrically, Testing a correlation for significance, Testing groups for equal proportions, Performing pairwise comparisons between group means, Data graphics and visualization (infographics) such as bar chart, pie chart, cumulative frequency curve (ogive), cumulative relative frequency graph, dot chart, box plot, histogram, time plot, scatter plot, plots of probability densities/distributions, normal Q-Q plot, residual plot, etcetera.
