Intermediate Spatial Data Science and GeoAI with Dr. Caglar Koylu promotional image

Intermediate Spatial Data Science and GeoAI with Dr. Caglar Koylu

Tuesday, October 6, 2026 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Social Sciences Research Building
Many social, environmental, and health processes exhibit spatial patterns. Nearby places may be related, and relationships between variables may vary across locations. When these spatial patterns are ignored, key assumptions of traditional statistical methods can be violated, leading to biased or misleading results.

This workshop introduces concepts and methods in spatial statistics and GeoAI for analyzing such patterns and relationships. Participants will learn about spatial dependence, where nearby observations tend to be related, and spatial heterogeneity and non-stationarity, where relationships between variables vary across space. Through a hands-on case study, participants will use mapping and spatial statistical methods to identify these patterns.

The workshop will also introduce XGBoost as a machine-learning approach for modeling complex and nonlinear relationships and use SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) to interpret how different variables contribute to model predictions in the social, environmental, and health sciences.

Analyses will be conducted in Python using Google Colab. Some familiarity with quantitative data analysis and spatial data science is encouraged. Prior experience with machine learning or programming is not required.

This is the second step in the REDCap training series. In this training we will cover basic and intermediate features such as:
• Outputting data automatically with calculated fields
• Collecting the same data points multiple times with longitudinal and one-to-many data collection
• Standardizing your data to industry standards with ontologies and the REDCap Instrument Library
• Ways to customize your data entry experience with action tags
• Viewing data with reports, dashboards, and charts
• And more

REDCap Surveys Training

Thursday, October 8, 2026 10:00am to 11:00am
Virtual

This is the third step in the REDCap training series. In this training, we will cover survey configuration and distribution such as:

Allowing potential participants to self-initiate participation in your study with public surveys

Manually and automatically sending surveys

Administering electronic consent (e-consent) forms

Controlling survey access with conditional logic and survey login

This training is a demo and not hands-on. After this training you will have a basic understanding of surveys in...
