  2. tidyverse: A collection of R libraries for data manipulation, visualization, and analysis.
  3. ggplot2: A popular R library for data visualization.
  4. regexone.com: An online resource for learning regular expressions.

Humor and community engagement:

  1. "Combo Xmas/bday" presents: appliedepi.bsky.social makes a lighthearted comment about birthday celebrations.
  2. Colin's R package: Colin is promoting his new R package, which has gained significant traction (1500 downloads in 5 days).
  3. Moral support: Kasia Banas thanks drpawelo.bsky.social for moral support during her regex learning journey.

Overall, this compilation provides a glimpse into the active and engaging data science community on social media platforms, showcasing their work, sharing knowledge, and having fun while doing it!

  • Veerle Eeftink - van Leemput: Kids + #rstats = 😍 You just need to know which packages to choose so you don't scare them away with boring ML models or boxplots. For example: 🔹 beepr 🔹 fireworks 🔹 aRtsy 🔹 brickr 🔹 tictactoe 🔹 fun 🔹 cowsay 🔹 hexSticker 🔹 swirl 🔹 sudoko Full overview + examples 😀: www.linkedin.com/posts/veerle...

  • Michel Nivard: 🚨 So this light online writer app for Jupyter #notebooks and #quartopub, it's probably happening! It can now log on, open any notebook in. any repo your a collaborator on, edit and save. Below I have to-do's & questions I'd love help with. ( #rstats #python #jupyter)
  • Sharon Machlis: {text} is an #RStats 📦 for “analyzing natural language with transformers from HuggingFace.” It aims to offer both a “point solution” for generating word embeddings and “end-to-end” #AI with functions like textClassify(), textGeneration(), and textTranslate(). By @oscarkjell.bsky.social #GenAI
  • Christian Minich: @jthandy.bsky.social has been on a roll lately! Great chat with @hamilton.bsky.social. My first online communities were #rstats and more data science. Then I found the SQL / industry crowd, and the lack of overlap was weird and striking. No as true anymore #dataBS overcast.fm/+AAw94V9GD4E
  • Rami Krispin: Interactive Tables With R & Reactable 👇🏼 The reactable is one of my favorite R libraries for making interactive tables. The following tutorial by @albertrapp.bsky.social provides a deep dive into the library functionality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9mM... #RStats #Data #DataScience
  • appliedepi.bsky.social: Today's post is for anyone with bdays this time of the year. We see you! This includes our Exec Director, an expert in "combo Xmas/bday" presents! Happy birthday Neale! 🎂 On that note, ever work with multiple date columns but need to pick one? Use coalesce() to easily prioritize a value! #Rstats

  • Kasia Banas: I completed a crash course in #regex using regexone.com, and used it to solve the Day 3 #adventofcode challenge in #rstats. Code at github.com/edinkasia/ad... Thanks to @drpawelo.bsky.social for moral support (I refused other help 😅)
  • Andrew Ba Tran: I think I might do a livestream of myself analyzing the boarding school data the @washingtonpost.com released this weekend. Live exploratory data visualizations 11:30 am EST. #rstats github.com/washingtonpo...
  • John MacKintosh: Data in 70 files. Several lines of descriptive text in the first few rows. Actual column headers embedded in the data, over multiple lines. Or maybe only one line? Blank rows on line 5. Or 4. Or not at all. 30 columns. Or 64. Or >100. Can one single function deal with it all? Yes it can #rstats
  • Data Elixir: Struggling with regular expressions in R? Feel like you're in Mordor fighting the Dark Lord? This post is an insightful guide on regex, breaking it down with song lyrics as examples. From pattern matching to quantifiers, it's got you covered. blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2024-1... #rstats #regex
