Handling missing data is a critical step in data analysis, as failing to address it properly can lead to biased results and reduced analytical power. The mice package for R, short for Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations, provides a robust and flexible framework for handling missing values through multiple imputation.

The visualizations shown below originate from the package website: https://github.com/amices/mice

Ah, the "Big Book of R"—a tome so comprehensive it could double as a doorstop or a weapon in a pinch. It's like someone took the syllabus of every course ever offered in R and threw them into a blender, producing the world's most overwhelming smoothie. Who needs concise when you can have a category for every letter of the alphabet, right?

New instance, updated #introduction:

Hi, everyone!

I'm Willa. I work as a med historian and pharmacy assistant at a hospital, but I almost never post about that. I do post a lot of nature pictures, often fungi or insects. I have a degree in #mathematics which I currently only use recreationally. I'm #transgender, #neurodivergent, #GenX, and #SociallyAwkward. Interests include #Minecraft, #nature, #RProgramming, #tidyverse, #hiking, #IndianFood, #VegetarianCooking, #science, #SciFi, and #cats. I make quirky #music that you can listen to on Bandcamp (#electronica, #indietronica, #hyperpop, #ElectronicClassical).

I was today years old when I learned you can get the computer to tell you when it has completed a task (I think Mac only) with:
system(“say Just finished!”)

In days long gone I got Matlab to play the Hallelujah chorus - if anyone knows how to do that in R, let me know

Anyone know of any good books to get a college sociology student up to speed on #R? For someone who is tech savvy but a non programmer.
