Either way, be careful! You don’t want to put your credentials out there in ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: quantixed. Our lab is international. People born all over the world have come to work in my group. I’m proud of this fact, especially in the current political climate. I’ve previously used the GoogleMaps API to display a heat map on our lab webpage. It shows where in the world people in the lab come from. This was OK, but I wanted to get an R based solution to make this graphic to make it easier to automate updates. This post is an explainer and “how to” guide. Code and some example data are here.

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Jeff Becker. Haven, the recently named joint venture of Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase, has officially emerged from the shadows with a public persona, giving industry pundits new details about the company’s ambitions and intended trajectory within healthcare.

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Amanda LeClair. Historically, SAP has not been as renowned for innovation as some of its pure SaaS competitors, like Salesforce. But between a steady stream of SaaS (and now data) acquisitions, a notable and ongoing effort to simplify the product portfolio, and clear messaging around marrying the X (experience) and O (operations), SAP’s own digital revolution is well underway. But are customers keeping pace? On the S/4HANA front, the answer is not so much.

New functions for pivoting dataframes, pivot_wide() and pivot_long() are coming, and will replace the current functions,spread() and gather(). spread() and gather() will remain in the package though: You may have heard a rumour that gather/spread are going away.
