I wish I had not found tidycensus::load_variables. I can't make myriad maps from Census data. I have other work to do! #rstats

I am collaborating on a project that renders a markdown file in #rstats, and I now see that kableExtra::kable() was the wrong choice of kable

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.

One side effect of banging your head against the wall with #adventofcode in #rstats is that when your job needs you to write a function to run 100 times on a data set with reproducible seed and store each run in a list, you're like, hey no problem.

Just learned that I needed to go back a version in #Rstats to keep using the groundhog 📦 and load versions of packages that I was using. Future me better appreciate this... #reproducibility

My #TidyTuesday contribution is a map of life expectancy in South America. #rstats

I used the "compact" data file from this United Nations data source (full of lots of stats for the world): https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/MostUsed/

With this data set, you could take 1950 and 2021 data years and use lag() to compute percent change for all kinds of vital statistics for nations.

I really love the parameterized reporting that is possible in #quarto in #rstats, 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?

For Day 1 of #30DayMapChallenge, 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. #rstats

Is it possible to set a #quarto code chunk in #rstats 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.

The update to {gt} in #rstats includes an ability add trendlines to tables with gt::cols_nanoplot. I tried it out on a table with data about enrollment in Delaware public school districts. The two districts with the most students are seeing steady declines in enrollment.

Super grateful to those who posted slide decks from #Positconf2023, like @jadeynryan who posted a tremendously useful deck about using parameters in #stats in Quarto and also, to add on to the tremendousness, showed how to leverage purrr 📦 to quickly produce multiple reports with different values of those parameters.

This is an excellent tutorial from @debruine on how to create a power simulation in #Rstats 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?
