Like more posts than I care to admit, this one starts innocently enough with a tweet by @gshotwell: Is there a reference document somewhere of which dplyr commands work on various database backends? #rstats — Gordon Shotwell (@gshotwell) April 9, 2019 Since I use at least 4 different dplyr backends every week, this same question...

One of the problems of navigating an autonomous car through a city is to extract robust signals in the face of all the noise that is present in the different sensors. Just taking something like an arithmetic mean of all the data points could possibly end in a catastrophe: if a part of a wall … Continue reading "Separating...

We are delighted to share with you our new webpage at https://t.co/rNuiRlNixV with both English and Spanish supportEstamos encantados de compartirles nuestra nueva página web...
In this tutorial I want to show how you can use alluvial plots to visualise model response in up to 4 dimensions. easyalluvial generates an artificial data space using fixed values for unplotted variables or uses the partial dependence plotting method. It is model agnostic but offers some convenient wrappers for caret models. Introduction Taking a peek When building machine learning...
How can you work faster in R Studio? Do you really want to know? In this article, I would like to share with you some of my favorite productivity features of R Studio along with their respective shortcuts. As well I will provide information about some other tools and techniques that are useful. I also prepared Article R Studio Shortcuts...
In R, a numeric variable is either a number (like 0, 42, or -3.14), or one of 4 special values: NA, NaN, Inf or -Inf. It can be hard to remember how the is.x functions treat each of the special … Continue reading →
Garmin Connect has a number of plots built in, but to take a deeper dive into all your fitness data, you need to export a CSV and fire up R. This post is a quick guide to some possibilities for running data. There’s a few things that I wanted to look at. For example, how

09.04.2019 Bio7 can be extended with R packages, Eclipse plugins and ImageJ plugins. Another very easy option to extend the Bio7 Graphical User Interface with R actions are dynamic menus which can be used, e.g., for personalized workflows or repeating tasks. The provision of new menus and nested menus is simple and can be arranged
When I was first learning R, working with dates was one of the hardest and most time consuming tasks I dealt with. There are so many things to learn! What do I do with as.POSIXct(), as.POSIXlt(), strftime(), strptime(), format(), and as.Date()? R date formats were confusing, and it seemed no matter what I did I was always running into...
As an experienced R user, I have seen numerous social media posts and perhaps even a few stackexchange requests over the years asking the question, “how do I learn R?”. This is a great question. A related one is, “how do I teach or coach R?” To the would-be student, I ask, “What attracted you to R in the...
David Hume – poster boy of the Scottish Enlightenment, contemporary of Adam Smith, and famous essayist – was embarrassingly nowhere to be found on my radar. The knowledge gap became...
“Security” can be a daunting, scary, and (frankly) quite often a very boring topic. BUT!, we promise that this Community Call on May 7th will be informative, engaging, and enlightening (or, at least not boring)! Applying security best practices is essential not only for developers or sensitive data storage but also for the everyday R user installing R packages, contributing...
About half a year ago I wrote about dqsample providing a bias free alternative to base::sample(). Meanwhile this is mostly of historic interest, since the upcomming R release 3.6.0 will see an updated sampling algorithm. However, some of the techniques used in dqsample are now part of dqrng. Of course, the sampling method is still
A good friend shared with us a great picture of Practical Data Science with R, 1st Edition hanging out in Cambridge at the MIT Press Bookstore. This is as good an excuse as any to share a book update. Nina Zumel and I (John Mount) are busy revising chapters 10 and 11 of Practical Data … Continue reading Practical...

In a post last week I talked a bit about Permutation (Randomization) tests, and how they differ from the (classical parametric) testing procedure that we generally use in econometrics. I'm going to assume that you've read that post. (There may be a snap quiz at some point!) I promised that I'd provide a regression-based example. After all, the two examples that...
Data wrangling. It's the process of getting your raw data transformed into a format that's easier to work with for analysis. It's not the sexiest or the most exciting work. In our dreams, all datasets come to us perfectly formatted and ready for all kinds of sophisticated analysis! In real life, not so much. It's estimated that as much...
One feature of R (could be positive, could be negative) is that there are many ways to do the same thing. In this post, I list out the different ways we can get certain results from a linear regression model. … Continue reading →
CategoriesProgramming Tags Machine Learning OpenCV R Programming OpenCV is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage then Itseez. The library is cross-platform and free for use under the open-source BSD license.

“I’d rather do data than date”. I overheard this while eavesdropping on a conversation among three female data journalists while waiting for an elevator at the IRE-CAR (Investigative Reporters and Editors - Computer-Assisted Reporting) conference last month. I would like to think the remark was overloaded with hyperbole, but maybe not. Most of the attendees as this conference were...
A new version of Rblpapi arrived at CRAN today as version 0.3.10. It regroups several sets of changes (see below). The most notable addition is an extension to use B-PIPE for high-performance bulk data access (in case you are provisioned for it) cont...
Researching “the internet” (i.e. $DAYJOB) means having to deal with a ton of “unique” (I’m being kind) data formats. This is ultimately a tale of how I performed full-text searches across one of them. It all started off innocently enough. This past week I need to be able to do full-text searches across metadata about... Continue reading →
Everyone that authors an R package is curious about how many users download it. As far as I know there’s still no way to get information on all the downloads, from all the R mirrors. Here I’m using package cranlogs, which only gives information on the downloads from the R Studio mirror. It also does … Continue reading How...
Original post published outside my blog on May 17th, 2018. I decided to edit the videos with kdenlive again and create both a new post and video.
