I am a data scientist who programs in R and SAS. Don't ask me to pick one. I am also particularly interested in equity in education as well as gender equity and equity in policing. Occasionally fly fishing. My posts are my own.

For Day 1 of , I mapped 9 of the schools for Black children in northern Delaware when Delaware--there were more than 80 throughout the state when the state enforced racial segregation in schools.

Is it possible to set a code chunk in to execute only if a variable has a specific value? I am setting up parameterized reports and some code blocks are extraneous for some reports in which sets of variables have missing values.

10% of data science is asking people to export data from Qualtrics in a different format.

Thanks to the great work by @klmr & @idavydov I've put together this repo: https://github.com/hrbrmstr/rdaradar that will help sanity check #RStats R data files in as safe a way as possible.

It's super basic and I'm rly tight on time this week, so issues (and, eventual PRs) are welcome.

You're still better off not trusting R data files not created by you.

@hrbrmstr @klmr @idavydov @AlexandreSieira Holy cow. So if I read this correctly, I could potentially pull down an .rda file and the exploit would go undetected by any antivirus and be activated upon a call to read_rds()?

Just learned that I needed to go back a version in to keep using the groundhog ๐Ÿ“ฆ and load versions of packages that I was using. Future me better appreciate this...

Going to present to my office on adopting research practices for reproducibility...do I dare try to learn {docker} ๐Ÿ“ฆ ? It seems critical for ensuring someone else can reproduce the analyses.

This is an excellent tutorial from @debruine on how to create a power simulation in and call the simulation n times with parameters in a dataframe. Which is so useful for wanting to check how power is affected by different aspects of study design

But I get messages in R that purrr::pmap_dfr are superseded, so are we supposed to switch to a different set of functions for passing a dataframe of parameters to a function?

Wow, this map (nicked from Amazing Maps on another place) really shows how different the Road traffic death rate in the US is vs Europe

@PyroNeurosis @kim_harding map of traffic fatalities is scary--an unfortunate consequence of our car-centric society. Here is a map of percent of uninsured adults by state...looks kind of similar...

A house finch is sitting in the nest, not a robin. I startled it going outside this morning. Weird!

hey @coolbutuseless @mattdray

what's your take on pipe-at-the-end vs pipe-at-the-beginning?

@almenal99 @coolbutuseless @mattdray I like the reasons outlined in the resource below for putting |> at the end of the line:

  1. easy to scan verbs on the left to understand what a chunk is doing
  2. easy to add steps to the end of a line

I really love the parameterized reporting that is possible in in , but I'm stymied by how rendering to MS Word puts my gt() tables in one big chunk with no spacing. Is there a good resource for rendering to Word and controlling the spacing?

Super grateful to those who posted slide decks from , like @jadeynryan who posted a tremendously useful deck about using parameters in in Quarto and also, to add on to the tremendousness, showed how to leverage purrr ๐Ÿ“ฆ to quickly produce multiple reports with different values of those parameters.

This plot for Day 1 of #30DayChartChallenge shows the gender inequity in salary for school superintendents in Delaware. #rstats

I typically would do a q-tip plot to show the difference between men and women, but this challenge was for showing how the part relates to a whole.

Is this a red-shouldered hawk? My picture is blurry but I think it is one. I read that in the eastern US they can have less bright plumage.

I ๐Ÿ’™ the {glue} package in #rstats

I needed >100 ESTIMATE statements in for a growth curve model in SAS, and I used glue::glue to generate the statements automatically from a dataset with the values for each model predictor. Saves so much time and drudgery.

Is there a parent of a obsessed child who can clarify if you just "buy" packs of gold Pokemon cards on Amazon? Is that legit? the interwebs suggest these are ultra-rare

Two pileated woodpeckers in the woods on a dead tree! Seeing them glide between the trees never gets old.
