Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on YIHAN WU. The knitr and rmarkdown packages are used in conjunction with pandoc to convert R code and figures to a variety of formats including PDF, and word. Here, I’m exploring how to convert HTML back to markdown format. This post came about when I was searching how to convert XML to markdown, which I still haven’t found an easy way to do. Pandoc is not the only way to convert HTML to markdown (see turndown, html2text) Pandoc is packaged within RStudio and on Windows, the executables are located within Program Files/RStudio/bin/pandoc. The rmarkdown package ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Learning Machines. Have you ever thought about why the definition of a function in R is different from many other programming languages? The part that causes the biggest difficulties (especially for beginners of R) is that you state the name of the function at the beginning and use the assignment operator – as if functions were like any other data type, like vectors, matrices or data frames… Congratulations! You just encountered one of the big ideas of functional programming: functions are indeed like any other data type, they are not special – or in programming lingo, functions ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Thinking inside the box. Our linl package for writing LaTeX letter with (R)markdown had a fairly minor release today, following up on the previous release well over a year ago. This version just contains one change which Mark van der Loo provided a few months ago with a clean PR. As another user was just bitten the same issue when using an included letterhead – which was fixed but unreleased – we decided it was time for a release. So there it is. linl makes it easy to write letters in markdown, with some extra bells and ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Brian Lee Yung Rowe. I will be pushing a new version of futile.logger (version 1.5) to CRAN in January. This version introduces a number of enhancements and fixes some bugs. It will also contain at least one breaking change. I am making the release process public, since the package is now used in a number of other packages.

There are two main themes for enhancements: 1) integration with the signal ... Read More

The second edition of my book ‘Deep Learning from first principles:Second Edition- In vectorized Python, R and Octave’, is now available on Amazon, in both paperback ($14.99)  and kindle ($9.99/Rs449/-)  versions. Since this book is almost 70% code, all functions, and code snippets have been formatted to use the fixed-width font ‘Lucida Console’. In addition line numbers have been added to all code snippets. This makes the code more organized and much more readable. I have also fixed typos in the book The book includes the following chapters Table of Contents Preface 4 Introduction 6 ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Angel Sevilla Camins' Blog. Summary Are you a data scientist who only wants to focus on modelling and coding and not on setting up a GPU cluster? Then, this blog might be interesting for you. We developed an automated pipeline using gitlab and Kubernetes that is able to run code in two GPU environments, GCP and bare-metal; no need to worry about drivers, Kubernetes cluster creation or deletion. The only thing that you should do is to push your code and it runs in a GPU!Source code for both the custom Docker images and the Kubernetes objects ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Jakob Gepp. We at STATWORX work a lot with R and we often use the same little helper functions within our projects. These functions ease our daily work life by reducing repetitive code parts or by creating overviews of our projects. At first, there was no plan to make a package, but soon I realised, that it will be much easier to share and improve those functions, if they are within a package. Up till the 24th December I will present one function each day from helfRlein. So, on the 15th day of Christmas my true love ... Read More

Life is never dull, because twins are still seen as something of a novelty, so wherever we go, we find ourselves in conversation with strangers, who are intrigued by the whole thing. In order to save time if we ever meet, here’s some FAQ’s: No, they’re not identical Yes, I’m sure No, they do not have similar personalities They like different things – One likes Hulk and Gekko, the other likes Iron Man and Catboy. Recently I’ve been hearing ... Read More

For new readers who want get familiar with Fama French before diving into this post, see here where we covered importing and wrangling the data, here where we covered rolling models and visualization, my most recent previous post here where we covered managing many models, and if you’re into Shiny, this flexdashboard. Our goal today is to explore k-fold cross-validation via the rsample package, and ... Read More
