A 2-Day Livestream Seminar Taught by Stephen Vaisey, Ph.D.

One of ChatGPT’s newest abilities is its Advanced Data Analysis mode. This allows users to work interactively with ChatGPT to analyze their own data in Python without knowing any Python code themselves. In this mode, users can upload their own data and ask ChatGPT to do tasks like:
– describe a dataset
– get descriptive statistics
– perform data cleaning and data manipulation
– estimate statistical models
– create data visualizations

This sounds impressive, and it is! However, users need to understand that this is like having a tireless research assistant who knows Python but does not know anything about you, your research, or the conventions of your particular field. This can lead to serious problems, misunderstandings, and errors if users aren’t careful and clear in their instructions.

This course will combine lectures, demonstrations, and exercises to help participants learn about the capabilities and limitations of Advanced Data Analysis using ChatGPT. Because the exact outputs provided by ChatGPT will change from session to session, participants will receive a copy of the outputs from one “run” of the course prompts. This may be different from what occurs live during the lecture! We will also discuss how this non-repeatability matters for issues of scientific reproducibility and code sharing.

This 8-hour, two-day course will be an introduction to both the promise and pitfalls of ChatGPT’s advanced data analysis mode. The instructor will work with you to understand best practices for using this mode, and help you decide under what conditions using it might be a good or bad idea.
