Introduction to the Yens Course – Fall 2024

Introduction to the Yens Workshop Goals

• To help you learn to use Stanford GSB’s substantial computing resources
• To help you get comfortable working on large social science research projects
  • Use too-big-for-your-laptop, often proprietary datasets, do computationally intensive analyses
  • Tables, figures, and other results generated by thousands of lines of code spread across many files
  • Complex enough to require collaboration between >2 people (including past selves)

We’re assuming you’ve done some programming, but talk to us if you haven’t!

These sessions should be helpful to you, so let us know if they aren’t!
