Just finished studying the topics covered in Spatial Data Science with applications in R (
r-spatial.org/book/
). Thought I'd share some of the charts I made along the way. Mostly recreations of some of the plots from the sources along with some context. 1/14 😬

Do you have a favourite resource on pair programming? Please drop a link 🙏 I'd like to do some pair programming with our student worker over the summer and he is a bit avoidant. Which is common - people don't like the idea of someone looking over their shoulder and judging them.

If you have access to any the following stats software, would you be willing to run some chi squared tests on a handful of simulated datasets and send me results? I need to verify that that my R implementation of what other software does is correct. - Stata - SAS - StatXact - SPSS DM me :)

I'm using {mice} to impute values of factor variables. My end-goal is to keep one row per obs, with the most common imputed value being retained but there are ties I could keep imputing one additional value until the tie is broken, but is there another way to go about this?

I've been working with NCV this last week; it's a powerful tool for modelling data with dependencies that are poorly/inefficiently modelled via stochastic process priors like cov functions or low-rank smoothers. However, it's a complex topic, so I thought I'd summarize the key ideas in a thread 1/n

{hypertext} is a DSL for building HTML in R. it's similar to {htmltools}, but with 2 deliberate differences: - it is *framework-agnostic* - it has *zero dependencies* we now have more web frameworks in R than ever before. {hypertext} works with all of them, and independently of them.

A vent 🗣️ on R's use of the GPL license. There's a balance ⚖️ of protecting the developers / language and supporting the users of the language. I don't think the GPL quite strikes that.
