Abstract: We use the RMariaDB and dbplyr packages to analyze the results database of the World Cubing Association. In particular we are interested in finding unofficial world records of fastest 3x3x3 solves, countries with large proportion of female cubers as well as acceptable solving times before entering a WCA competition.

In this post I benchmark the performance of 5 popular graph/network packages. This was inspired by two questions I had: Recently, I have been working with large networks (millions of vertices and edges) and often wonder what is the best currently a...
After dwelling happily on our GitHub repositories for an extended period of time, rTRNG has now finally made it to CRAN. We are very happy to get this out just ahead of the R in Finance in Chicago, where the functionality had been show-cased with an applied example two years ago. The main changes since then are related to dependency upgrades...
Recently a young relative mentioned that the campus R course she hoped to attend was full. What online alternatives did she have? So, I decided to start one of my own! https://github.com/matloff/fasteR Designed for complete beginners. I now have six lessons up on the site. I hope to add one new lesson per week. Advertisements
I had been asked why I spent so much effort on developing SAS macros and R functions to do monotonic binning for the WoE transformation, given the availability of other cutting-edge data mining algorithms that will automatically generate the prediction with whatever predictors fed in the model. Nonetheless, what really distinguishes a good modeler from
This blog was written by Sacha Epskamp. In my class on Structural Equation Modeling, I introduce the concepts of expected values and variances through the game of roulette. A french roulette game looks like this: A ball will roll in the left basin and land on one of the 37 values. You can bet on
I am currently working on a package for the R programming language; its initial goal was to simply distribute the data used in the Card and Krueger 1994 paper that you can read here (PDF warning). However, I decided that I would add code to perform diff-in-diff. In my previous blog post I showed how to set up the structure of your new package....
There's something wonderful about a graph that communicates a point clearly. You know it when you see it. It's the kind of graph that makes you pause and say 'wow!'. There are all kinds of different graphs that fit this description, but they usually have a few things in common: Clarity: The message of the graph is clear Simplicity: Extraneous details...
It's taken a little bit longer than usual, but Microsoft R Open 3.5.2 (MRO) is now available for download for Windows and Linux. This update is based on R 3.5.2, and accordingly fixes a few minor bugs compared to MRO 3.5.1. The main change you will note is that new CRAN packages released since R 3.5.1 can now be...
Want to get hands-on experience with R and explore new Data Science project? On 13 May we're hosting a R for Data Science workshop, come and join us! The post R for Data Science in a Day appeared first on MilanoR.
An updated look on squaring the circle using gganimate and R code. It gives a geometric and visual construction, a good and practical representation of what Pi is. As n becomes larger, segments become smaller and smaller, Pi can then be se...

Version 2.1.1 of the cranlogs package has been released on CRAN! cranlogs queries a web API maintained by R-hub that contains the daily download numbers for each package and for R itself from the RStudio CRAN mirror. 📈 Get cranlogs’s latest version from CRAN, hopefully from RStudio CRAN mirror so we can monitor counts. 😉 install.packages("cranlogs", repos = "https://cran.rstudio.com/") The changes brought by...
Introduction Ever wondered why items are displayed in a particular way in retail/online stores. Why certain items are suggested to you based on what you have added to the cart? Blame it on market basket analysis or association rule mining. Resources Below are the links to all the resources related to this post: Slides Code & Data RStudio Cloud What? Market basket analysis uses association rule mining under the...
Intro A week ago, Havard Business Review published an article on process mining and provided reasons for companies to adopt it. If you need a refresher on the concepts of process mining, you can refer to my first post. Conducting process mining is easy with R’s bupaR package. bupaR allows you to create a variety of visualizations as you analyse...
If there was something that always frustrated me was not fully understanding Bayesian inference. Sometime last year, I came across an article about a TensorFlow-supported R package for Bayesian analysis, called greta. Back then, I searched for greta tutorials and stumbled on this blog post that praised a textbook called Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in … Continue reading Bayesian...
When it comes to data visualization, flashy graphs can be fun. Believe me, I'm as big a fan of flashy graphs as anybody. But if you're trying to convey information, especially to a broad audience, flashy isn't always the way to go. Whether it's the line graph, scatter plot, or bar chart (the subject of this guide!), choosing a...
A tutorial to explore the differences between two practices used for set analysis: Venn diagrams and UpSet plots. Tutorial coded in R but similar concepts and packages are available in many tool sets.
One of the subjects that I teach in my undergraduate finance class is the relationship between risk and expected returns. In short, the riskier the investment, more returns should be expected by the investor. It is not a difficult argument to make. All that you need to understand is to remember that people are not naive in financial markets....
Shiny App as a Package In a previous post, I’ve introduced the {golem} package, which is an opinionated framework for building production-ready Shiny Applications. This framework starts by creating a package skeleton waiting to be filled. But, in a world where Shiny Applications are mostly created as a series of files, why bother with a package? This is the...
