Deploy to Shinyapps.io from Github Actions
Last week I spend a few hours figuring out how to auto deploy a shiny app on 2 apps on shinyapps.io from github. You can see the result on this github repository. This github repository is connected to two shiny apps on shinyapps.io. Here is what I envisioned, every new commit to the main branch will be published to the main app. We could then l...

Tidymodels on UbiOps
I’ve been working with UbiOps lately, a service that runs your data science models as a service. They have recently started supporting R next to python! So let’s see if we can deploy a tidymodels model to UbiOps! I am not going to tell you a lot about UbiOps, that is for another post. I presume you know what it is, you know what tidymodels me...

Reasons to Use Tidymodels
I was listening to episode 135 of ‘Not so standard deviations’ – Moderate confidence The hosts, Hilary and Roger talked about when to use tidymodels packages and when not. Here are my 2 cents for when I think it makes sense to use these packages and when not: When not you are always using GLM models. (they are very flexible!) it makes no ...

Walkthrough UbiOps and Tidymodels
In this walkthrough I modified a tutorial from the UbiOps cookbook ‘Python Scikit learn and UbiOps’, but I replaced everything python with R. So in stead of scikitlearn I’m using {tidymodels}, and where python uses a requirement.txt, I will use {renv}. So in a way I’m going from python cookbook to {recipes} in R! Components of the pipeli...

UseR2021: Integrating R into Production
This year’s useR was completely online, and I watched many of the talks. I believe the videos will be public in the future but there were some talks that I wanted to highlight. I think that the biggest problem with machine learning- (or even data-) projects is the integration with existing systems. Many machine learning products are batch or re...

Distributing data science products
Where or what is production? What does it mean when someone says to bring some data science product ‘in production’ ? What does it mean for data science products to be in production? Is your product already in production? Is it a magical place? I think two questions are of importance: does my ‘thing’ provide value? is my work repeatable?...

Should I Move to a Database?
Long ago at a real-life meetup (remember those?), I received a t-shirt which said: “biggeR than R”. I think it was by microsoft, who develop a special version of R with automatic parallel work. Anyways, I was thinking about bigness (is that a word? it is now!) of your data. Is your data becoming to big? big data stupid gif Your dataset beco...
