Feed: R-bloggers. Author: rOpenSci - open tools for open science. Sharing data sets for collaboration or publication has always been challenging, but it’s become increasingly problematic as complex and high dimensional data sets have become ubiquitous in the life sciences. Studies are large and time consuming; data collection takes time, data analysis is a moving target, as is the software used to carry it out. In the vaccine space (where I work) we analyze collections of high-dimensional immunological data sets from a variety of different technologies (RNA sequencing, cytometry, multiplexed antibody binding, and others). These data often arise from clinical ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. I had a great time at the EARL Conference in London last week, and as always came away invigorated by all of the applications of R that were presented there. I'll do a full writeup of the conference later this week, but in the meantime I wanted to share the materials from my own presentation there, "Not Hotdog: Image Recognition with R and the Custom Vision API". I've embedded the slides below: In the presentation, I showed how easy it is to build a Shiny app to perform image recognition with the Custom ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Adnan Fiaz. Nowadays whenever I do my work in R there is a constant nagging voice in the back of my head telling me “you should do this in Python”. And when I do my work in Python it’s telling me “you can do this faster in R”. So when the reticulate package came out I was overjoyed and in this blogpost I will explain to you why. re-tic-u-late (rĭ-tĭkˈyə-lĭt, -lātˌ) So what exactly does reticulate do? It’s goal is to facilitate interoperability between Python and R. It does this by embedding a Python session within the R session which enables ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Pui Chee Chan. Last year at Jenkins World, we announced Jenkins on Azure support for Kubernetes. We shipped the Azure Container Agent which allows you to scale out to Azure and run a Jenkins Agent on Azure Container Instances (ACI) and/or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using the Kubernetes Continuous Deploy or Deploy to Azure Container Services (AKS) plugins, you can deploy containers to Kubernetes. Back in April, we published a blog post in Kubernetes.io sharing with the community how to achieve Blue/Green deployment to Azure Container Services (AKS). Some questions remained to be answered though: ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Tim Bock. Explore 3D Correspondence Analysis! Back in the “olden days” of the 1970s it was apparently not unknown for statisticians to create 3D visualizations using tinkertoys. For some inexplicable reason, the advent of the PC led to a decline in this practice, with the result that 3D visualizations are now much less common. However, it is possible to create 3D-like visualizations digitally. Although they only show two dimensions at any one time, the user can understand the third dimension by interacting with the visualization. In this post I use Plotly’s excellent plotting package to create an interactive, 3D ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Rob Caron. Welcome to Azure DevOps The big news last week was the introduction of Azure DevOps, which represents the evolution of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). Azure DevOps is a set of five new services that can be used together as a unified product, independently as stand-alone services or in any combination: Azure Pipelines, Azure Boards, Azure Repos, Azure Test Plans, and Azure Artifacts. Azure Pipelines is a fully-managed CI/CD service that enables developers to continuously build, test, and deploy any type of app, to any platform or cloud, which is available with free, ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: ajit jaokar.   On Linkedin, many Data Science enthusiasts who aspire to be Data Scientists follow me. One person asked the question: What do I need to know to get a $150K job as a Data Scientist? It’s a good question Because you can find Data Scientist jobs paying as little $30K and also paying up to $150k So, what’s the difference? To compound the confusion, recruiters and companies include an assortment of skills in the job description.   Are you really expected to have all these skills? The secondary question ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: John Mount. Our R package wrapr supplies a "piping operator" that we feel is a real improvement in R code piped-style coding. The idea is: with wrapr‘s "dot arrow" pipe "%.>%" the expression "A %.>% B" is treated very much like "{. ". In particular this lets users think of "A %.>% B(.)" as a left-to-right way to write "B(A)" (i.e. under the convention of writing-out the dot arguments, the pipe looks a bit like left to right function composition, call this explicit dot notation). This sort of notation becomes useful when we compose many steps. Some ... Read More
