DataSHIELD Workshop

Author

Juan R. Gonzalez, Xavier Escribà Montagut

Introduction

This website has been created to host the materials and exercises for the ‘Utilization of the unCoVer toolbox for covidー19 data analysis’, hosted at the UPM-Montegancedo Campus the 6th of May, 2022.

On it you will find reading materials, setup tutorials, the workshop indications and practical exercises.

Getting Started

Before the workshop we suggest the atendants to take a look at the “Environment setup” and “Get up to speed” sections. This way they will have their computers with the right software installed to follow the workshop.

The password of the study servers are not displayed on this website, they will be provided on-site the workshop day, as well as the required information to connect to the VPN.

To help the assistants, we have also prepared a virtual RStudio on the UPM network. This RStudio will have all the required packages, login credentials and URL will also be provided on-site the workshop day. If you want to locally reproduce this RStudio, we have uploaded the Docker image to DockerHub.
