Feed: R-bloggers. Author: John Mount. dplyr is one of the most popular R packages. It is powerful and important. But is it in fact easily comprehensible?dplyr makes sense to those of us who use it a lot. And we can teach part time R users a lot of the common good use patterns. But, is it an easy task to study and characterize dplyr itself? Please take our advanced dplyr quiz to test your dplyr mettle. “Pop dplyr quiz, hot-shot! There is data in a pipe. What does each verb do?” Related To leave a comment for the author, please ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Peter's stats stuff - R. Income inequality data Ideally the Gini coefficient to estimate inequality is based on original household survey data with hundreds or thousands of data points. Often this data isn’t available due to access restrictions from privacy or other concerns, and all that is published is some kind of aggregate measure. Some aggregations include the income at the 80th percentile divided by that at the 20th (or 90 and 10); the number of people at the top of the distribution whose combined income is equal to that of everyone else; or the income of ...

Feed: All - O'Reilly Media. Author: Jon Bruner. Framework (source: Pixabay) After several decades as an interest of academic computer scientists and specialized research labs, deep learning is appearing widely in real products. That transition has led to several exciting new deep-learning frameworks that tend to emphasize either rapid prototyping or efficient deployment at scale. For product developers looking to experiment with an idea and then reinforce and deploy it, a single framework that supports both ends of the process is helpful. Apache MXNet, an open-source deep learning framework first published in 2015, aims to achieve exactly that. I recently ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Euthymios Kasvikis. INTRODUCTION The ggvis package is used to make interactive data visualizations. The fact that it combines shiny’s reactive programming model and dplyr’s grammar of data transformation make it a useful tool for data scientists. This package may allows us to implement features like interactivity, but on the other hand every interactive ggvis plot must be connected to a running R session.Before proceeding, please follow our short tutorial.Look at the examples given and try to understand the logic behind them. Then try to solve the exercises below using R and without looking at the answers. Then ... Read More

DataFest was founded by Rob Gould in 2011 at UCLA with 40 students. In just seven years, it has grown to 31 sites in three countries. Have a look at Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel’s post Growth of DataFest over the years for the details. In recent years, it has been difficult for UCLA to keep up with the growing interest and demand from southern California universities. This year, the Chapman ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: mareviv. Finally, -after 24h of failed attempts-, I could get my favourite Hugo theme up and running with R Studio and Blogdown. All the steps I followed are detailed in my new Blogdown entry, which is also a GitHub repo. After exploring some alternatives, like Shirin’s (with Jekyll), and Amber Thomas advice (which involved Git skills beyond my basic abilities), I was able to install Yihui’s hugo-lithium-theme in a new repository. However, I wanted to explore other blog templates, hosted in GiHub, like: The three first themes are currently linked in the blogdown documentation as being most ... Read More
