rstudio::conf 2020 is already receding in the rear view mirror, but the wealth of resources generated by the conference will be valuable for quite some time. All of the materials from the workshops, and now all one hundred and four videos of conference talks are available. This unique video collection offers valuable insight into how developers, data scientists, statisticians,...
R Markdown: what, why and how? Before you start Components of a .Rmd file YAML header Code chunks Text Code inside text Images Tables Additional notes and useful resources Photo by Jon Tyson If you have spent some time writing code in R, you probably have heard of generating dynamic reports incorporating R code, R outputs (results) and text or comments. In this article, I will explain how R Markdown...
This blog post is part of a series on new features in RStudio 1.3, currently available as a preview release. Today, we’re going to talk about a number of improvements we’ve made to RStudio 1.3 around configuration and settings. To set the stage, here’s how you configure RStudio today: This point-and-click dialog makes it easy for users to select the settings...
The software environment R is widely used for data analysis and data visualization in the social sciences and beyond. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly popular as a tool for data and file management. Focusing on these latter aspects, this Methods Bites Tutorial by Marcel Neunhoeffer, Oliver Rittmann and our team members Denis Cohen and Cosima Meyer illustrates the workflow...
I am always saying that simulation can help illuminate interesting statistical concepts or ideas. The design effect that underlies much of clustered analysis is could benefit from a little exploration through simulation. I’ve written about clustered-related methods so much on this blog that I won’t provide links - just peruse the list of entries on the home page and...
A few months ago, I posted a note with some home made codes for quantile regression… there was something odd on the output, but it was because there was a (small) mathematical problem in my equation. So since I should teach those tomorrow, let me fix them. Median Consider a sample . To compute the median, solvewhich can be...
When evaluating a machine learning model if the same data is used to train and test the model this results in overfitting. So the model performs much better in predictive ability than it would if it was applied on completely new data, this is because the model uses random noise within the data to learn
Commonly, the final product that a data scientist or a statistician generates is a report, usually in MS Word format. The officer package enables generating such a report from within R. It also enables generating PowerPoint presentations, but this is… Continue reading →
Recap Previously in this series, we discovered the equivalent python data structures for the following R data structures: vectors lists arrays/matrixes In this post, we will look at translating R data frames into python. We will also compare and contrast data frames in R and python. R data frame is a python… Pretty straight forward, a R data frame is a python data frame. We will use...

Category Basic Statistics Tags Data Management R Programming Tips & Tricks Sometimes it is necessary to standardize the data due to its distribution or simply because we need to have a fair comparison of a value (e.g, body weight) with a reference population (e.g., school, city, state, country). The calculation of z-score...
Introduction In one of my latest posts, I discussed the idea of turning base R’s get and set operators ([, [[, [
This post is Part I of a dive into the contents of the Apple Health Export. It will work through the mechanics of moving data from the Apple Health app out of your iPhone and into R where you can analyze it. It also will describe in detail the problem of adjusting the time stamps for daylight savings time and travel across...

A fun weekend-morning project, namely wrapping the outstanding simdjson library by Daniel Lemire (with contributions by Geoff Langdale, John Keiser and many others) into something callable from R via a new package RcppSimdJson lead to a first tweet o...
In R, the drc package represents one of the main solutions for nonlinear regression and dose-response analyses (Ritz et al., 2015). It comes with a lot of nonlinear models, which are useful to describe several biological processes, from plant growth to bioassays, from herbicide degradation to seed germination. These models are provided with self-starting functions, which free the user...
In this blog post, I present a paper that has really interested me for a long time. This is part2, where I will briefly present the model of the paper, and try to play around with the data. If you haven’t, I suggest you read part 1 where I provide more context. Rust’s model Welcome to part 2 of this series, which might or...
In our last post, we looked at one measure of risk-adjusted returns, the Sharpe ratio, to help our hero decide whether he wanted to alter his portfolio allocations. Then, as opposed to finding the maximum return for our hero’s initial level of risk, we broadened the risk parameters and searched for portfolios that would at least offer the same...

Harrison Schramm, CAP, PStat, is a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. In this short piece, I’m going to discuss a fun photography project I did over the winter using R. I’m also going to touch on some of the implications of the R license, which underlies our entire ecosystem, but we don’t usually think about...
Dealing with taxonomic inconsistencies within and across datasets is a fundamental challenge of ecology and evolutionary biology. Accounting for species synonyms, taxa splitting and unification is especially important as aggregation of data across time and different data sources becomes increasingly common. One potentially powerful approach for addressing these issues is to resolve scientific names to taxonomic identifiers that follow...
Another new version of digest arrived on CRAN (and also on Debian) earlier today. digest creates hash digests of arbitrary R objects (using the md5, sha-1, sha-256, sha-512, crc32, xxhash32, xxhash64, murmur32, and spookyhash algorithms) permitting e...
