Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Jakub Sobolewski. Consumer safety and product reliability are top of mind for regulated manufacturing industries, including pharmaceuticals. Documenting key processes, like clinical trials and laboratory tests, is critical and calls for a systematic approach. That’s where GxP comes in, with a strong focus on Good Documentation Practices. This globally recognized standard for quality guidelines and compliance requirements can be further optimized with programmatic solutions offered by R packages. In this article, we’re taking a closer look at how R Markdown and {officedown} can help you create, format, and manage GxP compliant documents with precision and confidence. GxP ... Read More

We at R Views believe that the R ecosystem, centered around CRAN and Bioconductor, is the world’s largest open repository of statistical knowledge. R packages provide implementations and examples for a tremendous number of statistical methods, procedures, and algorithms. Yet, the virtual library of the R ecosystem is far from being complete ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: kjytay. tl;dr: To avoid triple quotes and R CMD CHECK --as-cran errors due to documentation examples for internal functions, enclose the example code in dontrun{}. I recently encountered an issue when submitting an R package to CRAN that I couldn’t find a clean answer for. One of the comments from the manual check was the following: Using foo:::f instead of foo::f allows access to unexported objects. It should not be used in other context and is generally not recommended, as the semantics of unexported objects may be changed by the package author in routine maintenance. I was ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Prukalpa Sankar. “What does this column mean?”“There are two tables with the same name? Which one can I use?”“Why are our MRR numbers different in the finance and sales reports?”“Who can explain our marketing data?” Messages like these seem familiar? Welcome to the life of every data practitioner in the world. In 2016, I was at the helm of a data team that was rapidly scaling. We had vast amounts of new tables getting generated, new projects going live, and several new team members joining. But our team wasn’t built to ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Rick Wicklin. I refer to the SAS documentation every day. Usually, I want information about SAS syntax and the statistical formulas and algorithms for various options and statements. Although I have bookmarked common documentation books and chapters, sometimes it is easier to perform an internet search to find information. I've discovered a combination of search terms that usually find the information I need with one search. The trick works well with the most popular search engines, Google and Bing, but I suspect it will work equally well with DuckDuckGo and other search engines. The ... Read More

This three-part series discusses application design for Lambda-based applications. Part 1 explains how to use CloudWatch Logs Insights in your serverless applications. Part 2 discusses how monitoring concepts apply to Lambda-based applications and how to use Amazon CloudWatch Metrics. This post walks through troubleshooting application issues in an example walkthrough and monitoring Lambda code storage usage. A general approach to debugging Lambda performance issues and errors Between Amazon CloudWatch Logs, CloudWatch Logs ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Blog. Author: Alexis Goodrich. Digital transformation is rapidly expanding, the workforce is aging, and organizations are looking for technology to upskill their workforce faster. Manufacturers, in particular, rely on a highly skilled workforce that must keep up with the pace of technology change. Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute estimate that up to 2.4 million United States manufacturing jobs could remain unfilled between 2018 and 2028 because of a lack of adequate skills.1 What's needed to address the skills gap is a scalable solution to training and operations. With Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides, no custom coding is ... Read More

Guillaume Pressiat (@GuillaumePressiat) did a solid post & video on using Selenium to scrape a paginated table from understat[.]com/league/EPL/2020 (I just cannot bring myself to provide an active link to any SportsBall site).

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on Chemometrics & Spectroscopy using R. Last summer, a GSOC project was approved for work on the hyperSpec package which had grown quite large and hard to maintain. The essence of the project was to break the original hyperSpec package into smaller packages. As part of that project, we needed to be able to: Provide development versions of packages Provide large data-only packages (potentially too large to be hosted on CRAN). In this post I’ll describe how we used Dirk Eddelbuettel’s drat package and Github Actions to automate the deployment of packages between repositories. What is ... Read More
