The organisers
Our members Marius Boeltzig, Linn Petersdotter, and Karine Malysheva organised this event together with Taras Shevchenko University, Kyiv
The participants
We were positively overwhelmed with the interest in our Winter School. Despite widespread electricity and heating cuts due to Russian bombing, around 70 participants took part in the sessions live, and many more watched the lecture recordings afterwards. Participants included students, early-career scientists, and faculty from disciplines such as psychology, biology, sociology, and beyond.
Statistical Programming with R
Autumn 2023
In 10 sessions, our lab member Marius Boeltzig introduced the basics of statistical programming with R to students and faculty of Taras Shevchenko University, Kyiv. The focus was on basic functioning, inference statistics, and production of plots.
