Great post Yash! For those readers interested in getting data from the fitbit API using R I’ve documented the process here: https://towardsdatascience.com/the-gamification-of-fitbit-how-an-api-provided-the-next-level-of-training-eaf7b267af00

The ggmap tutorial has been updated to address the Google Static Map API service issues.

You've estimated a GLM or a related model (GLMM, GAM, etc.) for your latest paper and, like a good researcher, you want to visualise the model and show the uncertainty in it. In general this is done using confidence intervals with typically 95% converage. If you remember a little bit of ...

CategoriesRegression Models Tags ggplot2 Machine Learning Prediction R Programming In this post, the failure pressure will be predicted for a pipeline containing a defect based solely on burst test results and learning machine models. For this purpose, various Machine Learning models will be fitted to test data under R using ...

After living for more than a year on GitHub, we are pleased to announce that the {remedy} package is now on CRAN.  A package for easier Markdown writing About {remedy} Have you ever been frustrated about having to manually add markdown tags to your Rmd? If you are an avid ...

We at STATWORX work a lot with R and we often use the same little helper functions within our projects. These functions ease our daily work life by reducing repetitive code parts or by creating overviews of our projects. At first, there was no plan to make a package, but ...

Searching for Speed Everyone who has ever used R has, at one time or another, wished for an increase in R’s speed. If you haven’t, you’re not using R hard enough! Recently, as part of some research on credibility, I was calculating layer loss costs for millions ...

It’s always nice to be able to speed things up a bit. My first blog post ever described an approach using Rcpp to make huge improvements in a particularly intensive computational process. Here, I want to show how simple it is to speed things up by using the R ...

”“Data scientists … spend from 50 percent to 80 percent of their time … collecting and preparing unruly digital data, before it can be explored for useful nuggets.” (— New York Times). The chartbookR package allows the convenient creation of economic and financial data chartbooks. It handles most of the data wrangling and can thus ...

K-means is the most known and used clustering algorithm. It has however several drawbacks and does not behave nicely on some datasets. In fact, every clustering algorithm has its own strenghts and drawbacks. Each relies on some assumptions on the dataset and leverages these properties to cluster the data into ...

A few month ago I joined the R/Pharma conference in Cambridge, MA. As a take away I thought of my project and how I can improve, with solutions others provided. Mainly solutions in R are R-packages. So I’m a R-Shiny programmer in a regulated environment, so the list ...
