Learn how to model the neural network in the brain using Python. Location: SciNet Online

Learn parallel programming R, with a focus on parallel data analysis. Location: SciNet Online

Learn how to perform data cleaning and statistical analysis of large scale genetic data using PLINK and R software. We will use SciNet to run the PLINK analytical workflow to perform markers and individuals quality control, including population stratification and ancestry followed by association analysis between genetic variation and trait of interest. R-software (basic R plotting and ggplot package) will be use to visualize the results. Location: SciNet Online

Debugging and profiling are important steps in developing a new code, or porting an old one to a new machine. In this session, we will discuss the debugging of frequently encountered bugs in serial code with gdb and the debugging of parallel (MPI and threaded) codes. Location: SciNet Online

This course is to introduce graduate students to the programing language Python. The course will teach the students how to install Python on their laptop and then use Python to perform data analysis. The course consists of twelve hands-on sessions, each lasting one hour, where students bring their own laptops and perform assignments, each of these assignments being due for the following lecture. Part of BCH2024H Introduction to Programming in Python

In this course data analysis techniques utilizing the R statistical language, will be discussed and introduced, as well as, the basics of programming and scientific computing.The goal of this course is to prepare graduate students to perform scientific data analysis. Successful students will learn how to use statistical inference tools to gain insight into large and small data sets, as well as be exposed to cutting-edge techniques and best practises to store, manage and analyze (large) data.Topics include: R programming, version control, automation, modular programming and scientific visualization.Students willing to take the course as part of their graduate program have to enroll through Acorn/ROSI.This course is part of the IMS graduate program and due to be current CoViD19 pandemic, it will be taught fully online.
