SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Data Visualization for Active Monitoring-Part 1 - Responsive Survey Design: A Research Education Program - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Data Visualization for Active Monitoring-Part 1\n\nWebinar open for registration!\n\nJuly 18\, 2022\n9:00am-1:00pm\nM\n\nThis first webinar in a two-part webinar series on data visualization for production monitoring will cover basic concepts for the design and use of “dashboards” for monitoring survey data collection. We will begin with a detailed discussion of how to design dashboards from an RSD perspective. This will include concrete discussions of how relevant data may be collected and summarized across a variety of production environments. We will also discuss how these dashboards can be used to implement RSD interventions on an ongoing basis.\n\nNot for academic credit. \n\nInstructors: Brad Edwards & Victoria Vignare\n\nAll 2022 courses will be held in an alternative remote format.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:the small details
DESCRIPTION:Artists Amy Sacksteder and Brenda Singletary are both visual storytellers\, exploring their relationships to place and time through the contemplation of objects and raw materials within the context and the process of painting. Although disparate in their methods and aesthetic choices\, there is a surprising connection in their deep commitment to the particulars\, in all the small details more than “the big picture”…the idiosyncrasies and incidentals that give meaning\, resonance\, and renewal to their own visual languages\, and artistic practices ongoing. Visit our website to learn more: https://lsa.umich.edu/humanities/gallery/current-exhibitions/the-small-details.html.\n\n*the small details* was made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the Institute for the Humanities Gallery High Stakes Art Initiative. This two-person exhibition opportunity intends to offer support and further exposure specifically for regional contemporary artists.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data\n\nOpen for registration!\n\nJune 6 - July 29\, 2022\n10:00am-12:00pm\nM/W/F\n\nThis course provides practical methods and tools to analyze complex survey data with a hands-on introduction to the use of specialized statistical software procedures. The course focuses on case studies with specific large-scale national surveys: the National Comorbidity Survey-Replication (NCS-R)\, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES)\, and the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Relevant design features of the NCS-R\, NHANES and HRS include survey weights that take into account differences in probability of selection into the sample and differences in response rates\, as well as stratification and clustering in the multistage sampling procedures used in identifying the sampled households and individuals. After introducing essential concepts related to complex sample designs\, the course will turn to the construction of survey weights\, estimation of sampling variance\, descriptive analysis\, regression analysis\, and finally special topics in the analysis of survey data. Participants can expect to work on homework exercises\, computer lab exercises\, and a final analysis project.\n\nWhy take this course? \n- To gain an understanding of modern methods and software for the secondary analysis of survey data collected from large complex samples\n- To have the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the instructors when walking through analyses of survey data\n- To see various examples of applied statistical analyses of survey data\n- To have the experience of writing a scientific paper that presents an analysis of complex sample survey data\, and getting expert feedback on that paper.\n\nCourse Hours: 3\n\nInstructors: Brady T. West\, Yajuan Si\n\nPrerequisite: Two graduate-level courses in statistical methods\, familiarity with basic sample design concepts\, and familiarity with data analytic techniques such as linear and logistic regression.\n\nAll 2022 courses will be offered in an alternative remote format.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:A Virtually Syntax Free Practical Introduction to Web Scraping for Survey and Social Science Researchers - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:A Virtually Syntax Free Practical Introduction to Web Scraping for Survey and Social Science Researchers\n\nCourse open for registration!\n\nJuly 18-19\, 2022\n1:00pm-5:00pm\nM/T\n\nThis short course will offer a very practical introduction to data gathering geared at social scientists and survey researchers.  This course begins with an overview of web scraping discussing some basic technical jargon\, types of web data and various methods for scraping.  The course also includes a discussion and illustration of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) use for gathering web data when they are available.   Some websites are designed to be easily accessible by web crawlers or scraping algorithms while others require much more advanced\, custom programming.  And some web data can be accessed using an API that is provided by the website.    In this course we will illustrate how participants can discern these differences as well as presenting several motivating examples of the various ways web scraped data can be used throughout a study’s lifecycle from design to calibration to analysis.  We provide an extensive introduction to a suite of freeware programs that allow virtually syntax free\, but customizable\, web scraping capabilities.  We contrast this type of gathered data access to APIs for some websites like Zillow or Twitter and discuss pros and cons of using web scraping or APIs to gather this type of web data. The course concludes with specific focus on the import.io tool where we demonstrate its capabilities and provide several\, hands-on practical examples for participants to begin scraping several websites of increasing complexity.  We will also illustrate API calls in R for Zillow\, the Census and others as time permits.\n\nNot for academic credit.\n\nInstructor: Trent Buskirk\n\nAll 2022 courses will be held in an alternative remote format.
