Overview “show” and “watch” are the MySQL shell commands, which can be executed using the Javascript (JS), Python (Py), and SQL interfaces. Both commands are providing the same information, but the difference is you can refresh the results when using the command “watch”. The ... Read More
SAS graphs for R programmers – bubble maps

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Robert Allison. This is another in my series of blog posts where I take a deep dive into converting customized R graphs into SAS graphs. Today we'll be working on bubble maps - specifically, plotting earthquake data as bubbles on a map. R bubble map, created using geom_polygon() and geom_point() SAS bubble map, created using Proc SGmap My Approach I will be showing the R code (in blue) first, and then the equivalent SAS code (in red) that I used to create both of the maps. Note that there are many different ways to accomplish the same things in ... Read More
Quantifing changes of spatial patterns
Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Rstats on Jakub Nowosad's website. TLTR: Quantifing changes of spatial patterns requires two datasets for the same variable in the same area. Both datasets are divided into many sub-areas, and spatial signatures are derived for each sub-area for each dataset. Next, distances for each pair of areas are calculated. Sub-areas with the largest distances represent the largest change. To reproduce the calculations in the following post, you need to download all of relevant datasets using the code below: library(osfr) dir.create("data") osf_retrieve_node("xykzv") %>% osf_ls_files(n_max = Inf) %>% osf_download(path = "data", conflicts = "overwrite") You should also attach the ...

External Graphics with knitr
Feed: R-bloggers. Author: The Jumping Rivers Blog. This is part three of our four part series on {knitr} and {rmarkdown} Part 1: Specifying the correct figure dimension in {knitr}. Part 2: What image format should you use for graphics. Part 3: Including external graphics in your document (this post). Part 4: Optimal {knitr} settings. In this third post, we’ll look at including eternal images, such as figures and logos in HTML documents. This is relevant for all R markdown files, including fancy things like {bookdown}, {distill} and {pkgdown}. The main difference with the images discussed in this post, is that ... Read More
The H-1B visa: Facts, requirements, processes
Feed: CIO. Author: . The H-1B visa program is probably the most well-known US federal employment visas, and arguably the most controversial. Businesses say it’s too restrictive.

But the truth lies somewhere in between these extremes.The following overview of the H-1B visa is accurate as of the publication date. Be aware that the rules and internal business processes of the H-1B visa are complex. Either could be ... Read More
