Workshop on Sequence Analysis and Traminer
CUNY Data Mining Initiative
Friday, October 11, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EDT)
Workshop Leader: Alexis Gabadinho, University of Geneva
Description of Event: This is a free, one-day workshop on Sequence Analysis with focus on Traminer, an open-source data mining software available in “R.” Participants will get an introduction to sequence analysis and how Traminer can help create and run models. Participants will also get an opportunity to discuss their own research projects with Mr. Gabadinho.
Bio: Alexis Gabadinho holds a postgraduate diploma in demography. He is a scientific collaborator at the Institute for Demographic and Life Course Studies at the University of Geneva where he is finishing a PhD on methods for sequence analysis. He is also a junior researcher at the Life Course and Inequality Research Center at the University of Lausanne.
He is a developer of the TraMineR R package for sequence analysis and has taught sequence analysis in doctoral schools at the University of Bristol, Geneva, Lausanne and Lille and in conferences and postgraduate courses. His research interests are the application of data-mining methods in social sciences and the development of methods for categorical state sequences analysis. He worked in particular on measures of sequence complexity and methods for summarizing sets of sequences. His current research is focused on the development of Markovian model oriented methods for sequence analysis that are made available in the PST R package.
