As a (broadly-speaking), which language do you prefer for your data processing and data analysis?

I’m particularly interested in understanding why so many people seem to use R these days - comments welcome!

I'll give you a quick rundown on creating horizontal boxplots in R using both base R and ggplot2. We'll work with the "palmerpenguins" dataset to keep things interesting!

🚀 Base R Approach (Simple and Quick)

🚀 ggplot2 Approach (More Customization)

Both methods have their advantages.

So, why not give it a try yourself?

Reminder that optimizations which work wonders on small amounts of data may not work on large amounts, and vice versa.

How much #bias is generated in #dataAnalysis because a lot of people tend to use 42 as the random seed in their #python scripts?

Don't think it isn't relevant to you if you don't live there, because it probably is. It certainly reflects trends many people have posted about in the and the , and I would bet it applies elsewhere, as well.

The store chains use tricks of on-site , , and frequent shopper reward schemes, making it nearly impossible to know the real prices of items over time, and allowing companies to creep prices upwards unchecked. But this method clarifies how so many corporate profits increased so much post-Covid.

Take the time to read the whole thread. It's fascinating-- and eye opening.

Edit: already got an answer! Thank you so much @chrisXrodgers and @emdupre ❤️

Two questions, from restarting after doing mostly Matlab for a while.

  1. I really liked Tables in Matlab - what’s the best (fastest, simplest) equivalent of it in Python nowadays? ?

  2. with Matlab you can use ‘webread’ to one-line load the contents of a public google spreadsheet, as a table - very cool! What’s the simplest equivalent in Python?

Morning! I’ve been into town to get fresh bread, had breakfast and I’m ready for work. All four of us are WFH today, it’s going to be hard to keep out of each other’s way. More for me, I think I’ll work on category of offence and how that correlates with participants’ scoring of satisfaction with different areas of their life . Oh wait, Miss Cinnamon has just arrived and says that we must have cuddle first :blobcatreach: Have a great day everyone!

I've been trying to evaluate which is the better statistical model to analyze my data: an example of data that I could have to analyze is the firing rate of a neuron recorded in 60 trials belonging to two conditions (30 for the Go and 30 for the NoGo). The point of interest would be, for example, the effect of two different task epochs(appearance of cue and appearance of object) on modulating the firing rate across the two conditions.

Claudio11,

I was wondering whether this reasoning, beyond what concerns the general adequacy of ANOVA ( which I would use for simplicity at the moment) is correct or not.

pmax() 📈

Compare vectors with ease using pmax(...). Pass multiple vectors, and voila! You have the element-wise maximum. With the optional na.rm parameter, handling missing values becomes a breeze.

pmin() 📉

Meet pmin(...), your shortcut to element-wise minimum computation. Similar to pmax(), but for minimum values! Clean and simple.

Imagine you have a bunch of data points and you want to know how many belong to different categories. This is where grouped counting comes in. We've got three fantastic methods for you to explore, each with its own flair: aggregate(), dplyr, and data.table.

Happy counting, fellow data explorer! 🎉🔍 #r
