Materials for Workshop Participants
Software
Participants should have their own machine with either R, Matlab, or Octave installed. We assume a basic familiarity with at least one of the three platforms. R users may also want to install RStudio as an interface to R.
- Matlab is paid software that requires a license.
- Octave, which works very similarly to Matlab, is also free to download.
Workshop Bundle
All materials for the WMMC workshop (tools, lecture slides, practicals, and example datasets) are bundled together as a zip archive.
- Current development versions of tools are also available in our TagTools github repo
- Matlab users should add the file nearest.m to their matlab tool folder!
Post-Workshop Survey
At the close of the workshop, a satisfaction survey for participants will be linked here.
