The UBC OER Project Poster Session will celebrate the innovative work of UBC faculty, students, and staff who have developed open educational resources (OER) projects.
This session will introduce participants to the various types of t-tests, including one-sample, two-sample, paired, and one-sided tests. Attendees will learn about the appropriate applications for each type and the visualization techniques that can enhance the interpretation of t-test results.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to apply and visually represent different t-tests, interpret their results, understand the implications of multiple testing corrections, and select the appropriate test for their data.

Do you want to learn how to use copyrighted material in your research, and how to protect your own rights as an author? If so, this workshop is for you!
This workshop will introduce Generalized Additive Models (GAMs), which allow one to fit models that are complex and nonlinear but easily interpretable, unlike many “black-box” machine learning models.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to fit GAMs in R using the mgcv package and understand the advantages of GAMs over GLMs and LMs.
Join the Centre for Scholarly Communication for an online Q&A session to ask questions and learn more about how to properly format your thesis for submission.
Whether you are looking for training for yourself or your research assistants, this training will cover the basics of how to use Pressbooks to create and enhance content.
Take part in this free, hands-on workshop that will introduce participants to the creative and technical basics of photographic storytelling.
This session will introduce participants to non-parametric tests, which are useful when data distributions do not meet the assumptions of parametric tests. Attendees will learn to compare the adaptability of these tests with different data distributions and to visualize their operation.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to choose and apply the appropriate non-parametric tests for their data, visualize the operation of these tests, and understand the challenges of multiple testing with non-parametric methods.

CTGAN is a cutting-edge data augmentation tool that creates realistic synthetic data, which enables us to build larger and more reliable datasets and expand our research potential.
This workshop will show how to interpret GAMs and how to use GAMs to make publication-level figures.
By the end of this session, participants should be able to interpret GAMs and the output of the summary() function, predict from GAMs, and make figures using GAMs.
Using accessible platforms like Google Colab, participants will learn to apply AI tools that enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatments, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This is a must-attend session for healthcare professionals and data scientists eager to address the growing demand for innovative healthcare solutions through AI.
This session will introduce participants to the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), a statistical method used for comparing the means of three or more groups. The concept of blocking will also be introduced to reduce noise and isolate sources of variation.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to use ANOVA for multi-treatment analysis, implement blocking in experimental design, calculate the F statistic for assessing significance, and appreciate how blocking can improve the efficiency of a study.
