How to combine point and boxplots in timeline charts with ggplot2 facets
In a recent project, I was looking to plot data from different variables along the same time axis. The difficulty was, that some of these variables I wanted to have as point plots, while others I wanted as box-plots. Because I work with the tidyverse, I wanted to produce these plots with ggplot2. Faceting was the obvious first step but it took me...

Looking beyond accuracy to improve trust in machine learning
I have written another blogpost about Looking beyond accuracy to improve trust in machine learning at my company codecentric’s blog: Traditional machine learning workflows focus heavily on model training and optimization; the best model is usually chosen via performance measures like accuracy or error and we tend to assume that a model is good...

How to make your machine learning model available as an API with the plumber package
The plumber package for R makes it easy to expose existing R code as a webservice via an API (Trestle Technology, LLC 2017). You take an existing R script and make it accessible with plumber by simply adding a few lines of comments. If you have worked with Roxygen before, e.g. when building a package, you will already be familiar with the core c...
