Our virtual IDS-ADR online course gives a full introduction to administrative data, describing what it is, some particular problems in working with this type of data that may arise and how to deal with them.
Theoretical sessions and hands-on practical sessions using R syntax and synthetic data from the Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS), explain to users how to:
- tidy, clean and recode data
- link datasets
- manipulate data
- conduct data visualisation
- identify data quality issues
- and fit regression models
Data showcases and researcher experience sessions describe how to access data and avoid common pitfalls.
By the end of this online course participants will have the skills to understand, access and prepare linked administrative data for analysis. For further details please visit https://www.scadr.ac.uk/administrative-data/training/introduction-data-science-administrative-data-research-course-ids-adr
