English French German The newest release of the pointblank package makes it really easy to validate your data with workflows attuned to your data quality needs. You can install pointblank 0.3 from CRAN with: install.packages("pointblank") The design goals of pointblank are to enable two important data validation workflows with a common set of validation step functions, and, to have the code work seamlessly with...
The oil-to-gas ratio was recently at its highest level since October 2013, as Middle East saber-rattling and a recovering global economy supported oil, while natural gas remained oversupplied despite entering the major draw season. Even though the ratio has eased in the last week, it remains over one standard deviation above its long-term average. Is now the time to...
Pedro Coutinho Silva is a software engineer at Appsilon Data Science. It is not always possible to create a dashboard that fully meets your expectations or requirements using only existing libraries. Maybe you want a specific function that needs to be custom built, or maybe you want to add your own style or company branding. Whatever the case, a moment...
Astrolabe Diagnostics is a fully bootstrapped five-person biotech startup. We offer the Antibody Staining Data Set (ASDS), a free service that helps immunologists find out the expression of different molecules (markers) across subsets in the immune system. Essentially, the ASDS is a big table of numbers, where every row is a subset and every column a … Continue reading How...
There will be no better time or place this year to accelerate your knowledge of all things R and RStudio than at rstudio::conf 2020 in San Francisco. While we’re approaching capacity, there’s still room for you! Whether you’re a dedic...
One the greatest strengths of R for data science work is the vast number and variety of packages and capabilities that are available. However, it can be intimidating to navigate this large and dynamic open source ecosystem, especially for a newcomer. All the information you need is out there, but it is often fragmented across numerous stack overflow threads...
For quite a while we have been teaching estimating variable re-encodings on the exact same data they are later naively using to train a model on, leads to an undesirable nested model bias. The vtreat package (both the R version and Python version) both incorporate a cross-frame method that allows one to use all the … Continue reading New...

Just like how Thanos claimed to be inevitable in The Avengers, the direct or indirect use of python has become inevitable for R users in recent years. Fret not R users, you don’t have to abandon your favourite IDE, Rstudio, when using python. With the reticulate package you can use python in Rstudio and even have a mixture of...
Recently there has been a couple of meta-analyses investigating heterogeneous treatment effects by analyzing the ratio of the outcome variances in the treatment and control group. The argument made in these articles is that if individuals differ in their response, then observed variances in the treatment and control group in RCTs should differ. For instance, Winkelbeiner et al. (2019)...
FOAAS, having been resting upstream for some time, released version 2.1.0 of its wonderful service this week! So without too much further ado we went to work and added support for it. And now we are in fact thrilled to announce that release 2.1.0 of...
I’m excited to announce that heatmaply version 1.0.0 has been published to CRAN! (getting started vignette is available here) What is heatmaply? heatmaply is an R package for easily creating interactive cluster heatmaps that can be shared online as a stand-alone HTML file. Interactivity includes a tooltip display of values when hovering over cells, as … Continue reading "heatmaply...
The small new package glueformula with a single function gf facilitates constructing regression formulas from vectors with variable names. The syntax is similar to glue strings. Here is an example: # Example: build a formula # for ivreg with gf libra...
Revisiting the river flow profile plot from an earlier post, the video below loops each day's flow profile for the Delaware River in 2019. Data is from USGS gages processed using R and Windows Live Movie Maker.
Like me, if you like traveling as much as R you might want to draw a world map of the countries you have visited in R. Below an example with the countries I have visited as of January 2020: To draw this map in R, you will need the following packages: library(highcharter) library(dplyr) library(maps) As usual, you need the packages to be installed on...
Nonlinear regression plays an important role in my research and teaching activities. While I often use the ‘drm()’ function in the ‘drc’ package for my research work, I tend to prefer the ‘nls()’ function for teaching purposes, mainly because, in my opinion, the transition from linear models to nonlinear models is smoother, for beginners. One problem with ‘nls()’ is...
The BH 1.72.0-1 release of BH required one update 1.72.0-2 when I botched a hand-edited path (to comply with the old-school path-length-inside-tar limit). Turns out another issue needed a fix. This release improved on prior ones by starting from a p...

In statistics, it is often necessary to not only model data but test that model as well. To do this, you need to randomly separate the data into two groups ensuring even samples regardless of … The post Validate Me! Simple Test vs. Holdout Samples in R appeared first on ProgrammingR.
Building an API in NodeJS and R to send message to Slack from your Garmin watch. Why on earth ThinkR is a remote company, meaning that we all work from our home. On top of other cool things about remote work, this allows me to skip my lunch break and...
This post was contributed by Julia Romanowska, Researcher at the University of Bergen, Norway. Thank you, Julia! I’m involved in development of the Haplin R package, which enables fast genetic association analyses (very useful for those involved in genetic epidemiology research). We are a team of scientists that have various background, from genetics, through bioinformatics and statistics. Here’s a short...
If you’re new to data science, or your organization is, you’ll need to pick a language to analyze your data and a thoughtful way to make that decision. Full disclosure: While I can write Python, my background is mostly in the R community—but I'll try my best to be non-partisan. The good news is that you don't need to sweat...
Two years ago, I wrote about meta-learning to fight imposter feelings. In this blog I made a distinction between impostering because you don’t feel you are up to the job, and because you feel you ought to know something which you don’t. The meta-learning blog focuses on how you define yourself as a data scientist and what, as a...
Happy New Year to all of you! 2020 is here and it seems that we are being overwhelmed by more and more irrationality, especially fake news and conspiracy theories. In this post, I will give you some indication that this might actually not be the case (shock horror: good news alert!). We will be using … Continue reading "Psst,...

Yet another offshoot from my Advent of Code 2019 adventures (first half, second half, all solutions): on day 24, the challenge was to program a variant of Conway’s game of life, and I figured I might as well try my approach on the real thing! A quick google for existing implementations yields three main approaches: nested for, shifting of matrix...
