Assignments

Assignment 1: Case study

Assignment 1 consists of finding, importing, cleaning, and exploring/analysing a dataset.

1.1 Find, import, clean

Find a dataset that you want to work with, then use a script to download and clean the data.

If you can’t find a dataset, you can use the full, unmodified version of the workshop data here: https://osf.io/zem9p

1.2 Exploratory data analysis

If the EDA module is included in the workshop, then assignment 1 is extended to include EDA. Plot the distribution of at least two types of variables that you are interested in exploring further.

Create at least one plot with the relationship between two variables, and a summary table with the mean and standard deviation within groupings of a variable.

1.3 Data modelling

If the data modelling module is taught in the workshop, select at least two statistical models to apply to the data.

1.4 Communicating results

Use Quarto to communicate the results from the previous sections of assignment 1. This can be in the form of a report, short manuscript, presentation, or whatever format in Quarto you prefer.

Assignment 2: Reproduce someone else’s code

You will be paired up with another person in the workshop. Send each other your project and try to run the other’s code.

Make a note of any issues you encounter, and provide feedback in a document.

Incorporate feedback.

If the workshop includes the collaborative coding module, then this assignment should be done with Git and whatever Git hosting platform is preferred (GitHub, GitLab, etc).
