Workshop Overview: The goal of this workshop is to serve as an introduction to the use of meta-analysis to combine summary data. Specifically, we will cover the different assumptions required and types of analyses one can use when trying to synthesize information from different sources. We will begin by considering the case of estimating a mean for single characteristic from different studies. We will discuss different estimators and diagnostic plots that can be used estimate quantities of interest and to assess the assumptions necessary for proper inference.

Prerequisites:
The ESG Spring Conference is hosted by the CIBC Office of Sustainable Finance under the auspices of McGill’s Sustainable Growth Initiative (SGI) and McGill Business Law Platform.
Workshop Overview: R is mostly known for its statistical methods on numbers. However, it is also capable of working efficiently with text and analysing it. In this workshop we will take a deep dive into how to work with text in R and introduce you to functions that allow you to even do text mining.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to
· manipulate strings efficiently
· import text from multiple sources
· lay the basis for working with regular expressions (regex)

Workshop Overview: The goal of this workshop is to serve as an introduction to Bayesian models and tools for analyzing missing or partially observed data. Specifically, we will cover the different types of missing data that one can encounter when working on real problems and various approaches for analyzing the incomplete data under different assumptions. We will begin by considering problems where observations for some characteristics are completely missing in the original dataset. Then we will address Bayesian models for partially observed values, e.g.
