In my last post, I demonstrated that graphs and text can tell a nice story about how much the American public approved of each of the past 14 Presidents! So, how about we make the information more fun to watch? Luckily, R can accomplish this. With the gganimate and magick packages, GIF ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Robert Allison. This is another in my series of blogs where I take a deep dive into converting customized R graphs into SAS graphs. Today I show how to combine several graphs with shared axes, which we'll call paneled graphs. This time I'll be plotting the Job Openings Rate by Industry, similar to how Len Kiefer graphed them in this Twitter post. Len is always posting interesting (and nice looking) graphs, and was kind enough to share his R code, which I consulted while creating my R graph. Thanks Len! R paneled graphs, created using geom_bar() ... Read More

Feed: Alation. Author: Stephanie McReynolds. Stephanie McReynolds March 19, 2016 — REFLECTIONS FROM THE GARTNER BI & ANALYTICS SUMMIT I hate to admit that the last time I attended the Gartner BI & Analytics Summit, Howard Dresner was still the host. I started my career in BI, but took a few deviations into CRM, middleware, and databases. For me personally, it was an amazing return this year to the now appropriately re-named, Gartner BI & Analytics Summit held in Grapevine, Texas. The energy at the conference was amazing – over 2,000 attendees and 100 vendors gathered to find our inner ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Econometrics and Free Software. I’m currently working on a preprint on the spread of COVID-19 in Luxembourg. My hypothesis is that landlocked countries, especially ones like Luxembourg that have very close ties to their neighbours have a very hard time controlling the pandemic, unlike island countries which can completely close off their borders, impose very drastic quarantine measure to anyone who would still have to come in and successfully wipe out the disease by imposing strict lockdowns and contract tracing measures. In actuality, this started more as a project in which I simply wanted to look at ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Tony Hirst. Notes and reflections on a curiosity driven personal learning journey into geo and rasters and animal movement trajectory categorisation and all sorts of things that weren’t the point when I started… Somewhen over the last month or so, I must have noticed a 3D map produced using the rayshader R package somewhere because I idly started wondering about whether I could use it to render a 3D rally stage map. Just under three weeks ago, I started what was intended to be a half hour hack to give it a go, and it didn’t take ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple. Author: Alisha Hill. It’s a no-brainer that 2020 has not been the best year of our lives and has successfully altered all of our lives in various ways. The pandemic has changed a lot of things for us and one of the big impacts that it had was the shift of things to online platforms. Schools have shifted to online classes; offices have shifted to a ‘work from home’ structure and businesses are no exception. A lot of businesses have prioritized their online presence more.As the new year came so did the optimism of people ... Read More

Thank you everyone who participated in our first mlverse survey! Wait: What even is the mlverse? The mlverse originated as an abbreviation of multiverse, which, on its part, came into being as an intended allusion to the well-known tidyverse. As such, although mlverse software aims for seamless interoperability with the tidyverse, ... Read More
