My A&E #warmingstripes experiments continue. Given that even the lowest value in this time series was 2,532 (Aug 2011), I don't think the colour gradient should start at blue, or even white; it should be shades of red all the way across. The highest value was 212,280 (Dec 2022). #rstats #ggplot2

I need to acknowledge the significant advice I got from @johnmackintosh.bsky.social in my efforts to not compromise verisimilitude too much with this graph. (Guess what my new favourite word is.) #verisimilitude #rstats #ggplot2

Not going to win any awards but I'm quite pleased with this. Firstly, it's my first dabble with shinylive. Secondly, apart from shiny itself, it's all base R, no other packages. I do need to brush up on my shiny layouts though.. #rstats

I have reverted my website from .net to .com Old links should still work if you replace the domain. Or maybe not, but just head over and I'm sure you'll find what you need. johnmackintosh.com

Delighted to make it in among the highlights of the always excellent RWeekly and to hear my work being discussed on the podcast too. Thanks guys @rpodcast.bsky.social

#rstats Anyone know of a way to download *all* your GitHub gists (including private ones) using the GitHub API or (?)R package? Saw an old blog post that had a method bit it maxed out at 30 gists, and I have way more than that

#rstats I tidied up a bunch of horribly formatted open data CSV files so you don't have to. A strategy for dealing with many irregularly dimensioned text files, featuring #rdatatable (obvs), #purrr, #arrow and #duckdb johnmackintosh.net/blog/rstats/...

I promised myself that with my website relaunch I would start writing more (and in particular writing about my work), so here's the first blog post to keep that promise: an introduction to analytical data warehouses https://jennajordan.me/blog/analytical-data-warehouses

Two of the biggest misconceptions in #RStats 1. data.table is too hard to learn 2. It's only for really large datasets Neither is true

#RStats Wondered why my notifications were going nuts over on Linkedin: Yan Holtz's data-to-viz site is fantastic and I'm always pleased to see the reaction this plot gets. www.linkedin.com/posts/yan-ho... Incidentally, a "hot-take" in the replies was that this could have been a line chart. How?

#RStats Has anyone got a good workflow for collaborating on a Word document produced via Rmd (via {officedown}) Caveats : only one R user Multiple SMEs No git / source control Many rounds of redrafts / changes as new requirements evolve Changes are marked up by SMEs in Word via track changes
