Prerequisites: Participants must have completed their LDSP/RIT data access request prior to the workshop.
This workshop is designed for political science and social science graduate student researchers who are new to using the Savio computing cluster and L2 voter data. Participants will learn how to work with raw L2 data, including how to access and process it through Open OnDemand and RStudio. The session will cover the basic setup of Savio, including file paths specific to L2 data, and provide hands-on guidance on exporting data from scratch space and integrating it into research workflows.
Attendees will:
- Access and load L2 data via Open OnDemand using R or Python
- Export data from P2/P3 scratch space
- Understand the research value of L2 data and its various applications
- Learn the process for data migration and ongoing support access
- Review guidelines for legal data usage and exporting
