dplyr 1.2.0 was released last week and since I use {dplyr} a lot in my work, I wanted to take some time to try some of the new functions. This post provides some supplemental examples of the new functions, beyond what is provided in the new Posit materials. #rstats cghlewis.com/blog/dplyr_u...

Posit Conf 2024 Shiny app (based on the #tidytuesday data and some scraping) is available here: umair.shinyapps.io/pctalks/ GitHub: github.com/shiny-meetin... This app is made collaboratively under the #shinymeetings project. #RStats

I use a standard set of prefixes when naming objects in my #rstats code and if I was dictator for a day I'd make everybody implement it. 🧐

New blog post! After archiving USAID data last week, I decided to play around with and recreate parts of the ForeignAssistance dot gov dashboard with #QuartoPub and #ObservableJS. I learned a ton about D3 projections and making pretty Javascript plots #dataskyence www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2025/02...

Ok this is unreasonably fun. I may need to do another #tidytuesday

@dslc.io welcomes you to week 51 of #TidyTuesday! We're exploring Dungeons and Dragons Spells (2024)! 📁 https://tidytues.day/2024/2024-12-17 🗞️ https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1804-start-playing-today-with-the-2024-d-d-free-rules #TidyTuesday#RStats #PyData #JuliaLang #DataViz #tidyverse #r4ds

In addition to applied statistics, I have another repository on #DataVisualization: "quick data vis" (github.com/cxli233/Quic...). It used to be under "Online_R_learning" but now it has its own repository on GitHub. I have used this content to teach 1st year grad students for 3 years.

Just a reminder that you don't have to be a statistician, or a programmer, or an analyst, or a data engineer, or a viz designer to benefit from #rstats. It's also amazing just for basic data management tasks. Especially thanks to the #tidyverse.

📢 📢 📢 @austinwitherspoon.bsky.social created a Bluesky notifications app! Android is still on the way, but the AppStore approved it today!! apps.apple.com/us/app/bluen... Just put in your handle (in settings) and then you can add accounts you want notifications for from your follow list.

Trying something new: A 🧵 on a topic I find many students struggle with: "why do their 📊 look more professional than my 📊?" It's *lots* of tiny decisions that aren't the defaults in many libraries, so let's break down 1 simple graph by @jburnmurdoch.bsky.social 🔗 www.ft.com/content/73a1...

Want to create websites with #Quarto? @cwick.co.nz shows how to: 1. Start: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7r2... 2. Add pages: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k65E... 3. Customize: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAN2... 4. Add listings: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv_C... Great for #RStats, #Python, #JuliaLang folks!

Saving these for later :D I have a great fondness for data management memes and try to spread the love to my team at work.

going through my old twitter archive, found some old gems, like the Potato RPG that broke D&D reddit for two days because there's a typo that makes you instantly lose on starting the game

btw not for nothing, but I think if ~10 more people "like" this #rstats feed it will start turning up in searches on the "discover feeds" menu bsky.app/profile/did:...

This is fairly basic but I found it frustratingly difficult to find the answer with Google so I figured I'd share here: If you want to change the order of variables displayed *within* each group in ggplot2, use the `group` argument to specify the factor levels #rstats #ggplot2
