My first R package on CRAN
A couple of weeks ago I have released my first R package on CRAN. For me it turned out to be a far less painful process than many people on the internet portray it to be (even though the package uses quite a lot of C++ code via Rcpp and RcppEigen, and even though R CMD check returns two NOTEs). Some of the most helpful resources for publishing th...

dplyr basics
This blog post demonstrates the usage of the R package dplyr. It turns out that dplyr is intuitive to the point where I probably won’t ever need to look back at this summary. A nice and very concise dplyr and tidyr cheat sheet is available from RStudio. The following was compiled in rmarkdown [:page_facing_up: download .Rmd file]. library(dplyr...

Tired of doing real math 1 — some visualizations of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tweets
As a grad student working primarily on statistical methodology, I regularly experience phases of total disillusionment with math/stats. Recently I realized that when I don’t feel like doing “real” math for prolonged periods of time, I instead can work on data analyses, which are mathematically unsophisticated (and possibly of low mathemati...

Visualization of MRI data in R
Lately I was getting a little bored with genomic data (and then TCGA2STAT started to give me a segfault on my university’s high performance computing facility too :stuck_out_tongue:). So I decided to analyze some brain imaging data that I had lying around instead. The first step is to do some visual data exploration. In this blog post I present...
