This workshop introduces distribution-based clustering techniques, with emphasis on Gaussian mixture models. We discuss likelihood-based estimation, model selection, and cluster uncertainty.
Researchers, meet your Okanagan research support team! Join us this week to ask questions about creating and delivering a successful 3MT presentation.
Join Naim Cardinal, Educational Facilitator with Indigenous Programs and Services, and Jessica Bayer, Educational Consultant for Indigenous Initiatives, for bi-weekly coffee gatherings. These sessions provide a space to ask questions and engage in conversations about truth and reconciliation, decolonization, Indigenization, Indigenous history, culture, worldviews, and more.

Copyright Made Simple: Power Up Your 3MT Presentation!
This session will address the advantages of box plots over bar charts for displaying the spread and variability in data.
This session covers density-based clustering approaches such as DBSCAN and related methods. We explore core concepts including density thresholds, reachability, and handling irregular cluster shapes and noise.
Join us this week for discussion topics relevant to researchers at either the proposal development/submission stage or those who currently hold a SSHRC grant.
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 session will introduce participants to various types of t-tests, including one-sample, two-sample, paired, and one-sided tests.

This workshop introduces graph-based clustering, including community-detection approaches such as spectral clustering and modularity-based methods. We examine how similarity networks are constructed and how graph topology guides cluster formation.
Researchers, meet your Okanagan research support team! Come join us to connect with friendly faces who are always there to support solutions for your scholarly communication and digital or data-intensive research needs.
Let’s celebrate Freedom to Read Week by sharing and discussing banned or challenged books. We will showcase poets and a selection of poems that have faced bans or challenges.
This session will introduce participants to non-parametric tests, which are useful when data distributions do not meet the assumptions of parametric tests.
In this workshop, participants are invited to explore how to practically and creatively incorporate disability justice principles in participatory and community-engaged research.
Researchers, meet your Okanagan research support team! Join us this week to network and connect with campus staff from The Library, Research Computing, and the Office of Research Services.
This session focuses on preparing mixed-type datasets—categorical, ordinal, and continuous variables—for clustering. We cover distance measures, data transformations, and quantification techniques that preserve variable meaning.
This session will introduce participants to the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), a statistical method used for comparing the means of three or more groups.
In this workshop, participants are invited to explore how to practically and creatively incorporate disability justice principles in participatory and community-engaged research.
This session will address the concepts of correlation, causation, and association in data. Participants will learn to differentiate between these concepts and to recognize and interpret various types of correlations.
Researchers, meet your Okanagan research support team! Come join us to connect with friendly faces who are always there to support solutions for your scholarly communication and digital or data-intensive research needs.
Building on the previous workshop, this session applies clustering methods designed for mixed-type data. We introduce algorithms such as k-prototypes and integrated similarity-based approaches.
This session will introduce participants to fundamental computation concepts in Python, laying the foundation for more advanced topics.
This session will address importing Excel and comma separated value files into Python for analysis and address initial data exploration.
