As far as rivalries go, R vs Python can almost reach the levels of the glory days of Barca vs Madrid, Stones vs Beatles, or Sega vs Nintendo. Almost. Just dare to venture onto Twitter asking which language is best for data science to witness two tightly entrenched camps. Or at least that’s what seemingly hundreds of Medium articles...
In an earlier post I gave a gentle introduction to tidy evaluation in the R tidyverse using simple examples. I covered quoting with enquo and unquoting with !! in brief dplyr and ggplot2 snippets. Today, I aim to build a collection of more complex use cases involving additional tools. Those are our libraries: libs % head(5) ## # A tibble:...

I have long been a fan of creative data visualisation techniques. For me, the choice of visual representation is driven by both the type of data and the kind of question one wants to examine. The power of its visualisation tools has been a major strength of the R language well before the ggplot2 package and the tidyverse burst onto...

The tidyverse philosophy introduced by Hadley Wickham has been a game changer for the R community. It is based on intuitive rules of what a tidy data set should look like: each variable is a column, each observation is a row (Wickham 2014). At its core, the tidyverse collection of R packages is powered by a consistent grammar of...
