Hello EVOLDIR members This seminar offers practical skills for simplifying complex datasets, which can significantly enhance your research capabilities. Dimensionality Reduction with UMAP and Beyond 2.0 led by Nikolay Oskolkov (Lund University) is now available as an on-demand streaming seminar. This seminar explores dimensionality reduction techniques like UMAP, PCA, and tSNE, crucial for managing and interpreting large multivariate datasets common in evolutionary and genetic research. Participants will gain practical skills in applying these methods using R and Python, enabling more efficient analysis of complex genomic, phenotypic, or population data. Learning these techniques will help researchers uncover novel insights and improve the accuracy of their ongoing and future projects in evolution and genetics. Access this seminar (https://instats.org/seminar/dimensionality-reduction-with-umap-and-b-1) on demand at your own pace, and please pass this to colleagues and students who may find it useful!
