Request for help from anyone with #rstats package development experience or knowledge of time data, especially if you've worked with .ical files before: checks failing in the {calendar} package preventing updated on CRAN and I'm not sure why 🤷 . Thanks to new contributors for reviving this package after ~5 years dev hiatus! Please spread the word @rOpenSci and anyone in this #foss for #DataScience (or at least dates) space! Details: https://github.com/ATFutures/calendar/issues/50
(1/3) I am excited to share that my course - Data Pipeline Automation with GitHub Actions Using R and Python 🚀, is now available on LinkedIn Learning!
The course provides an introduction to setting up automation with GitHub Actions with both R and Python. Throughout the course, we will use a real-life example by working with the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) API for data automation. 🧵👇🏼
Color can be a great way to distinguish data points in charts. But don't rely on color alone to convey information, as that can make things difficult for colorblind users. Using different shapes or patterns can help. Make sure patterns or textures are simple and not distracting.
@A11yAwareness
In some cases like heatmaps which using patterns and shapes are not possible, we can use colorblind-compatible color palettes to make them more accessible:
#rstats#books The second edition of my book "Learn R: As a Langauge" has been published today in the R Series. The publisher is offering a 20% discount until 31 July. More information at https://www.learnr-book.info/ the supporting R package will be in CRAN next week.
I am delighted to present a talk at posit::conf() for the first time! 🙌 You can find me in the session "Beautiful And Effective Tables" presenting on "Context is King" - a talk about #rstats variable labels. 🎉 #positconf2024
If you see warnings/errors on GitHub Actions related to Matrix incompatibilities for your R package, see this issue for possible workarounds: https://github.com/r-lib/actions/issues/832
Excited to announce the release of {stplanr} v1.2.0, on CRAN and beyond 🎉
Key feature: new implementation of rnet_join(), allowing fast+flexible merging of route network datasets, leveraging {rsgeo} which has a fast (~1000x faster than {lwgeom}) #RustLang backend 🔥
In fact, {stplanr} is the first package to build on {rsgeo} of packages in the main #rstats package repository. Won't be the last I suspect (and nudge re releasing a new version Josiah ; ) https://cran.r-project.org/package=rsgeo
@zeileis Fritz's classes in Munich were what got me interested in #RStats. His teaching made it a thing that I could not only use but also peek under the hood of. His usage of ICA to separate a very gobbled recording into the national anthems of Germany and Austria, live in the lecture, was a big aha moment of being able to use stats and machine learning on more than just tabular data!
