北京大学社会研究中心与北京大学－密歇根大学学院将于2019年7月-8月在北京大学联合举办为期一个月的第13届暑期强化课程。任课教师均为北美高校的著名教授。欢迎北大和国内高校、研究单位的教师、研究人员、硕、博研究生和高年级本科生申请本期暑期课程。课程要求学员掌握基本的统计概念和知识,熟悉回归分析模型。具体课程和任课教师介绍如下：

一、课程安排及介绍：
1、课程名称：
Introduction to Spatial Analysis for Social Sciences 《空间分析在社会科学中的应用》
时间：2019年7月8日至19日
课时：36学时     招生人数：80人  工作语言：英语
主讲教师：Gelin Kan教授
Dr. Gelin Kan is a professor of epidemiology in the School of Community Health Sciences, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He was trained in spatial demography and GIS. He is known for his works in spatial modeling, spatial statistics for count data, and spatial disparities in health.  His most recent research focuses on the public health data science.  He uses the infrastructure approach to develop integrated data marts, data analysis utilities, and training modules for public health data specialists. He has been supported by NIH, NIJ, NSF and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

课程介绍：
Advances in geo-computation and explosion of geo-referenced data have pushed the geographic information system (GIS) and spatial analysis to the forefront of knowledge discoveries in social sciences and public health. This course introduces 1) basic GIS concepts and analytical technics for spatial data handling, 2) exploratory spatial data analysis, and 3) statistic methods for measuring spatial association.  Spatial analytics, such as spatial regression, small area estimation will also be covered.  Each lecture is organized by first introducing the concept and measurement, and then hands-on lab using ArcGIS and GeoDa.  Students are encouraged to bring their own data and research questions to the lecture to have a live discussion or research in action.

2、课程名称：
Micro Simulation in the Social Sciences 《微观模拟在社会科学中的应用》
时间：2019年7月22日至8月2日
课时：36学时      招生人数：80人   工作语言：英语
主讲教师：Debra Hevenstone教授
Dr. Debra Hevenstone is a Professor of Social Work at the Bern University of Applied Sciences. Her current projects focus on using government administrative data to compare different models of social service outsourcing and to study how social insurance design incentives depend on partners’ income. Debra teaches classes on social policy, statistical methods, network analysis, and simulation. Debra holds a PhD in Sociology and Policy as well as a certificate in complex systems from the University of Michigan as well as an MA in Social Science from the University of Chicago and a BA in Social Science from Bard College.

课程介绍：
This class is divided into morning sessions where we present the theory and logic of micro simulation in the social sciences, and afternoon computer lab sessions where we learn to program Agent Based Models in java and to analysis their output in R. The course begins with background theory on dynamic systems, cellular automata, matching algorithms, and stochastic simulation. We then cover some applications in the social science including models of demographic change, segregation, social norms, and political institutions. In the third section we consider data integration, model validation, and prediction. In the lab we work with java simulations (using Jung for networks and Repast for cellular automata) for models of partner matching, friendship formation, residential segregation, and demographic change. In the lab we work with R first to explore differential equations and Markov chains and later to analyze simulation output.
