The Applied Research Lab is offering several R Workshops during March and April, 2013.
Read more details about R.
]]>All R workshops are held in the Stabley 201 Computer Classroom in the library. No preregistration is necessary.
Notes and data sets for past R workshops, and immediately upcoming, can be found in the following location on the Common drive:\\acad2.acad.iup.edu\common\ARL R Workshops
R is a free and powerful statistical package for analyzing and graphing data.

Webinar Leader: Christoph Maier (ARL coordinator)
Overview: Most graduate students doing quantitative research generate analyses in SPSS that are converted to summary tables in their thesis/dissertation. The statistical tables generated in SPSS tables look very different from the summary tables that you include in your thesis/dissertation. They are different both in terms of what information is contained in them as well as in the structure and formatting of the tables. To complicate things even more, an APA table commonly summarizes information from more than one SPSS table.
In this workshop, you will learn about the differences between SPSS and APA tables and learn some tricks to optimize the process of converting SPSS tables into tables in your thesis/dissertation.
Topics:
Webinar Format: The webinar will consist of a series of short, prerecorded tutorials that talk you through the steps as you watch my desktop. Many of these tutorials will be followed by a short practice time for participants to try the steps out on their own. During the practice times, I will be available to answer questions.
Once you have registered for the webinar, the ARL will provide you with handouts and files that will be used during the webinar.
You may attend the webinar from any computer with an Internet connection and either headphones or speakers. If you wish to work along, your computer should have both SPSS and Microsoft Word.
The handouts, SPSS files, and the series of tutorials will eventually be posted to the Recent ARL Workshops and Handouts webpage on the ARL website.
]]>The ARL will reopen on the first day of Fall semester, August 27.
]]>During the summer, the Applied Research Lab will be open from 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., June 4 through August 10, 2012.
]]>It will reopen on Monday, January 23, 2012.
]]>Hours for the Fall semester will be Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
]]>Qualtrics is a software package for creating and managing on-line surveys. It is available at no cost to all IUP faculty, staff, managers, and students.
The latest document shows those creating surveys in Qualtrics how to customize backward and forward buttons. The tutorial was created by summer interns Hannah Brewer (from the Curriculum and Instruction doctoral program) and Seth Bennet and Quan Zhang (both from the Applied Mathematics master’s program).
]]>This statistical technique classifies categorical data, without all of the assumptions associated with other methods, and generates an easy-to-follow output diagram that allows for quick decision making. In particular, we will be covering the process of creating a decision tree model with the SPSS add-on module. A model will be created in real-time with the software by the presenters, ARL graduate assistants Ben Jarrett and Steve Brewer.
The workshop is available to IUP faculty, managers, and students. Watch your e-mail for registration information.
]]>The workshop, “An Overview of Logistic Regression,” will be presented by Dr. Christoph Maier, ARL coordinator. All faculty members and graduate students are welcome to attend and have received an e-mail with workshop details and registration information.
For more information, please contact the Applied Research Lab at 724-357-4530.
]]>The Applied Research Lab has made resources about Qualtrics available on their website. Individual assistance is also available by calling the Applied Research Lab at 724-357-4530.
]]>Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The ARL provides technical assistance, free of charge, to IUP faculty, staff, students, and administrators engaged in research.
]]>Remote Trainer: Jeff Richins of Qualtrics
On-site Trainer: Christoph Maier, coordinator of the Applied Research Lab
The web-based survey software tool Qualtrics is available to all IUP faculty, staff, and students. The Qualtrics license replaces the license that IUP had with Student Voice.
This training covers the basics of the Qualtrics set-up, as well as the nuts and bolts of building and distributing surveys, using survey libraries, viewing survey results, and downloading survey data to Excel or SPSS.
Please register for the workshop by e-mailing jserio@iup.edu. Space is limited. Deadline to register is Friday, June 26.
