Last week, I crafted my first-ever gauge chart to showcase partial radial plots for our #ggplot2 [un]charted lesson on "coordinate systems".

Thanks to coord_radial(), partial circles like those are super easy now — and of course I couldn’t resist making a polished and animated version

Visualizar es contar historias con datos. ¡Te esperamos!

I was annoyed that there is no "expand_grid()" function in #Python as in #RStats #tidyverse

So I just published a small package on #PyPI !

Introducing polarsgrid
https://pypi.org/project/polarsgrid/

Using the excellent #polars package, easily create a table with product of factors:

from polarsgrid import expand_grid
expand_grid(a=[1, 2, 3], b=["x", "y"])

Yields all combinations of its inputs as a #DataFrame

It can also produce a #LazyFrame for streaming extra-big tables to disk

At first glance, bar charts might seem like a simple visualization type. But with a little creativity, they can be enhanced in countless ways to reveal deeper insights and make your data shine.

The attached visual highlights a variety of bar chart styles to inspire your work.

Scheduled for tomorrow: "RAG comes to the tidyverse!" My step-by-step tutorial on using the {ragnar} #RStats to do retrieval augmented generation in R is supposed to be published July 17 at #InfoWorld.

Ever wonder how the #tidyverse came to be? #TheTestSet 's first episode features @hadleywickham on his accidental empire of #RStats packages, bear encounters, and more!

Using dplyr and ggplot2 in R can significantly streamline your data analysis process, making it easier to work with complex data sets.

I have created a video tutorial in collaboration with Albert Rapp, where I demonstrate how to do this in practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKISB0gnue4

#Tidyverse help needed!

Is there a simpler way of applying a function like mean() to a number of numeric variables with NAs?

class.data.clean |>
select(numeracy.average:numeracy.data_types) |>
summarise(across(everything(), \(x) mean(x, na.rm = TRUE)))

Because I just told my students that the #tidyverse is great because it's more intuitive, but I don't think they're going to buy this when I show them (absolute #Rstats beginners) this...

Please do try it out in the dev version and let us know how it goes!

Thanks to @hadleywickham @lionel and @davis for making it a reality!

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).

When I worked with complex survey data, I always wanted a clear start-to-finish guide in #RStats with #tidyverse syntax. Thanks to Stephanie A. Zimmer and Rebecca J. Powell, it’s finally here!

Seems like it's time for a new #introduction! I've just started a postdoc with Colin Olito and Bengt Hansson at #LundUniversity. I'll be working with #SexChromosome #evolution in Wikstroemia, doing #genomics, #GenomeAnnotation, and other #bioinformatics things related to that. I'm an avid #tidyverse and #RStats user, but with a ton of #python background. I did my PhD on #oat genomics with #ScanOats. I'm really into #visualization, and I want to learn more about statistical modelling.

#introduction #TwitterMigration

Hi, everyone! ​

I'm Willa. I have a degree in #mathematics, and I'm currently studying #dataanalytics online. I'm #transgender, #neurodivergent, #genX, and #sociallyawkward. Interests include #Minecraft, #nature, #rprogramming, #tidyverse, #hiking, #Indianfood, #vegetariancooking, #science, and #cats. I make quirky #music that you can listen to on Bandcamp (#electronica, #indietronica, #hyperpop, #electronicclassical)

Hi! I analyze and visualize #healthcare #data for Modern Healthcare, mostly using #R and the #tidyverse. I live in #Chicago with my partner, where we have two amazing daughters out on their own now.
I follow the #WhiteSox , like cycling and am trying to learn #mandolin. I used to draw a #webcomic called Odd Jobs that got some attention. I plan to post the three graphic novels that came from that on my Tumblr.
#introduction

So I guess this is well past the time for an #introduction:

I'm Matan Hakim, a Policy Data Scientist. I'm Head of Research at the Israeli Institute for Cultural Policy, an NGO promoting cultural development.
I'm also a researcher at Arlozorov Forum, the research institute of the largest trade union in Israel.

I use #Rstats and mostly #Tidyverse, learning more every day. I post notes from my #DataScienceJourney as I go along.

You're welcome to follow if these are your fields

I just migrated to a new instance, which is a good occasion for a formal #introduction.

So, hi! I'm wrapping up my PhD in #sociology; I use digital and #computationalsocialscience methods to study experiences of community for #LGBTQ / #queer people and places.

I've done lots of work with #Rstats / #tidyverse, and I'm getting better with #Python, especially for #nlproc and text-as-data methods as they relate to applied social science questions.

Can't promise to be super active on here while I'm dissertating and interviewing for jobs, but I might share some snippets of my in-progress stuff.
