🔍 Quick Guide: Detecting Strings in R

In my latest blog post, I cover how to find specific strings in data columns using the str_detect function from the stringr package and base R functions. You'll see practical examples with both grepl for identifying matches and gregexpr for counting occurrences.

Read more here: https://www.spsanderson.com/steveondata/posts/2024-05-10/ and explore ways to make string detection a breeze in your data work!

Learn efficient ways to collapse text by group in R! Explore base R's aggregate(), dplyr's group_by() and summarise(), and data.table's grouping. Mastering these techniques enhances data preprocessing skills. Try these examples with your datasets to optimize workflows. Happy coding! 📊💻

Used car prices coming down in the USA. This isn't great for new car buying as dealers will offer less on a trade. Dealers still aren't moving much on new car pricing (yet).

@major I think the e-buyers like carvana are trying to reverse that, but I say let the prices fall, cars are not assets and honestly the whole covid no production thing is over

@major Yes people will be underwater on car loans, which sucks but I would say is typical, cars retain zero value, your underwater as soon as you leave the lot. I think the manufactures in their quest to extract as much money as possible from people have over inflated the price of cars and dealers made it even worse. For the life of me I can't understand why people are paying, I negotiated my and my wifes cars down tremendously, always prepare to walk out, cars get pumped out.

👍 In R, you can easily extract specific columns from a data frame by their numerical positions. For instance, to grab the second column from a data frame df, you can use df[, 2].

🙅‍♂️ You can also exclude columns by using negative indexing, such as df[, -2] to exclude the second column.

Keep exploring and happy coding!

I want to thank everyone who has downloaded one of my #R as the I have surpassed a combined 100,000 downloads of them!!

Thank you!

Counting NA's across columns in #R sure you can do that!!

My post today uses #BaseR #dplyr and #datatable to accomplish this

Today I am writing on the AIC functions available in my hashtag#R hashtag#Package TidyDensity.

There are many of them, with many more on the way. Some of them are a little temperamental but not to worry it will all be addressed.

My approach is different then that of fitdistrplus which is an amazing package. I am trying to forgo the necessity of supplying a start list where it may at times be required.

@stevensanderson@mstdn.social avatar

Want a simple form of analysis in #R well, I got you covered.

My #R TidyDensity has a function called tidy_mcmc_sampling() that is pretty straight forward. It takes a raw vector and performs the calculation you give it over a default of 2k samples.

I hope you find it useful.

Exciting news for R users! TidyDensity's latest update introduces util_chisquare_param_estimate(), leveraging MLE to estimate Chi-square distribution parameters like dof and ncp.

Generate a dataset with rchisq() and use util_chisquare_param_estimate() to analyze it, even without knowing the underlying distribution. Visualize results with tidy_combined_autoplot().

Try it in your next R project!

I was working on a problem today where I needed to pick out a department and a sub issue that were attached to each other as a single code in a comment.

I first went to use the traditional SUSTRING(comment_string, 1, 5) IN (my list of codes) but it was slow.

So off to work, I learned something new via and learned to make a sarge-able LIKE with what ever I want in the narrower results.

Nice to learn something new.

@stevensanderson@mstdn.social avatar

Exciting news for data analysts! Try check_duplicate_rows() from TidyDensity in R to identify duplicate rows in datasets.

This new function simplifies data cleaning and enhances accuracy in analyses. Give it a go today!

I've been in a bit of a developer rut. It's not lack of projects I want to do and can work on. It's more like analysis paralysis on some, death by a thousand cuts aversion on others. So I piss away time on social media. I decided to try to get some dev momentum by picking up something I first tried back in 2020 the last time I got dev writers block: The Ray Tracing Challenge. Back then it was Kotlin and I only got as far as basic ray projection before wrestling with the Cucumber test system and "real work" derailed me. This time I'm going to be trying it in Dart and Flutter. My progress, or lack thereof, will be in this repository with a corresponding plain text developer log.

@hankg This happens to me from time to time and I get discouraged, then all of a sudden I'll bust out all my issues on GitHub in like a day or two, then I'll be exhausted. Happened to me last week, killed 20+ issues and released an update then got sick and weekened ruined.

@newmanth we did the dev with desktop excel. I am though thinking abcouple years down the road to try and make this more robust and try 365 as well
