Dear all, the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics is organizing a new 1-day workshop on "Reproducible Research" which will be held in Lausanne on the *4 April 2014*. It is likely to be of interest to several readers of this mailing-list -- "reproducible research" was the topic of our first meeting two years ago, and at the time, several participants indicated their interest in the organization of such a workshop. Full description: This course will focus on the concept and techniques that allow statisticians/data analysts to ensure as much as possible that their analysis performed using R is reproducible. Reproducible research in statistical analysis is the idea that it should be possible for other people to reproduce a published data analysis and obtain the same results ("other people" also include the person who did the initial data analysis, 6 months later). While all data analysts agree that the concept of reproducible research is important, very few of them actually take active steps to ensure that their work is reproducible. Participants should have experience in using R for analyzing data. Basic knowledge of LaTeX or LyX is an advantage. Participants should bring a laptop and be able to install custom applications. A list of required applications including R, LaTeX and GIT will be provided before the course. The course is organized by the Bioinformatics Core Facility (BCF) of the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. Further information and registration are available from http://edu.isb-sib.ch/course/view.php?id=155 Please note that the number of seats is limited. Hope to see you there!
